What is a Floater?
The floater is a unique plan wherein the value (sum insured) opted can be used by all the members of the family or by a single-family member. For example: if the policy is bought for 3 lacs, then either all three members of the family can use it for 1 lac each or one member can use the entire cover of 3 lacs.
These plants simply float on the surface of the pond. They are not planted, but are laid in the water. They produce roots to absorb nutrients from the water, rather than to attach themselves to anything. Surface floaters are an important element of a healthy pond. They filter the effects of sunlight on the water and remove large quantities of mineral salts.This inhibits the growth of algae. Surface floaters multiply at rapid speed and it is essential to remove plants from the pond regularly to stop the surface from becoming completely covered. We recommend always keeping two thirds of the water surface of your pond free of plant cover.
Floaters are the people who allow you to take vacations and know that your base is covered — removing the unnecessary feeling of guilt you might otherwise feel when taking a hiatus. A floater is a person who checks news websites that are usually someone else’s responsibility — to provide that person the space to take a recess from their regular OpSD activities. Floaters receive periodic messages from the OpSD directors informing them of upcoming holes in the OpSD net and how long the holes will need to be filled. To be considered as a floater, be sure to say so on the OpSD Application.
