Default blanket weed

looking for help, i bought an electronic weed controller last year and it worked a treat took around 5 weeks. Now the weed has come back heavier than ever, does anyone have any view as to why.

thanks for reply koiman, all parameters are normal, are you aware of any other products that will kill off the weed, not just the ones that cost money and dont do what it says on the tin (thats most of them).

had the most success with Bactozyme, a natural product too, not expensive either. Try an e-bay search or find an ad in one of the mags, worked superbly for me before my pond matured and balanced out.
