Foamstream is safe for use around waterways and delicate ecosystems and is used by water companies around the world. If you’re an organisation working with water, click here to learn more about using Foamstream in the utilities sector.

Foamstream can be used in any kind of weather.

Typically, weeds treated with Foamstream require just two to three treatments per season (or as little as one if you’re treating moss and algae). This means that it delivers the lowest cost of ownership for users. By comparison, a hot water system would require between five and seven treatments per season, and a minimum of two for moss and algae.

Foamstream can only be applied using one of our delivery systems. Watch our process video to show how Foamstream works here.

Foamstream is simple and easy to use – no certification is required.

Training is provided and there are a large number of guides and videos available to assist operators, should they need.

The active ingredient in Foamstream is the heat from the hot water. The foam insulates the hot water, ensuring the heat is not lost to the atmosphere. This ensures the heat covers the plant for long enough for it to kill or severely damage the plant.

The active ingredient in the Foamstream process is the heat in the hot water. The foam simply acts as an insulating blanket over the top of the hot water, ensuring heat is not lost to the atmosphere.

The longer a plant is kept in the kill zone (temperatures above 57˚C) the better. By providing a layer of insulation, Foamstream holds the heat from the water in the kill zone for long enough to penetrate the leaf’s waxy outer layer, and travel down the stem and into the roots. This severely damages the plant, either killing it or causing it to die back.

Foamstream holds the plant in the kill zone for longer than any other alternative thermal method. Watch our process video here.
