Apparatus, System, and Method for Removal of Floating Vegetation

A system for removal of floating vegetation away from a structure partially submerged in a body of water near a shoreline, comprising:

• a) a centrifugal pump mounted to the structure, wherein the centrifugal pump has an input pipe and an output pipe;
• b) the input pipe extending into the body of water and the output pipe extending to an underside of the structure, wherein the output pipe connects to one or more conduits positioned below the underside of the structure and above the body of water;
• and
• c) the one or more conduits having a plurality of spray nozzles, wherein the spray nozzles are constructed to spray water from the body of water towards the floating vegetation.

A method for removal of floating vegetation away from a structure partially submerged in a body of water near a shoreline, comprising:

• 1. providing a centrifugal pump having an impeller, an input pipe, and an output pipe, wherein the centrifugal pump has an electrical motor of 2 to 4 horsepower, wherein the output pipe has one or more conduits connected thereto, and wherein the one or more conduits have a plurality of spray nozzles;
• 2. mounting the centrifugal pump to the structure, extending the input pipe into the body of water and extending the output pipe to an underside of the structure and above the body of water;
• 3. connecting the output pipe to one or more conduits and positioning the conduits below the underside of the structure and above the body of water;
• and
• 4. turning on the centrifugal pump and pumping water from the body of water into the input pipe, pumping water from the input pipe out of the output pipe, through to the one or more conduits, and out through the spray nozzles, and creating a water spray moving the floating vegetation away from the structure.
