My best buy Pondomatic Pond Vaccuum
This is the 4th vaccuum I`ve bought and tried and it`s simply the BEST
It can also be used at any depth, as I also have a stream to clean.
What a pleasure not to have to empty the container.
Obviously keeping the outflow lower than the container.
Minor moan, The container could have been half as big again?
Hope it lasts a few seasons. Many thanks..
It works!
I was very pleasantly surprised how effective the vacuum was. I spent about 2 hours cleaning a load of gunge from my pond. It dealt with the blanket weed with ease and dumped it under the hedge.
The vacuum cycles in 25 second bursts, first it sucks up the muck then the vacuum automatically switches off and the muck is dumped out of the discharge tube, in my case I put it under the hedge. The 'floor' tool blocked up a couple of times with dead leaves, but that is to be expected.
My only concern is the amount of water removed from the pond. If you are only interested in removing the worst gunge from the bottom of the pond you could put the discharge pipe directly back into the pond and only the thickest stuff would remain in the vac tank. But I think you would need to empty the tank every second or third cycle to make this work as the creamier mud is also discharged down the pipe. I am thinking that something like an old pair of tights stretched to make a...
Keep it cool....
I bought this, used it twice very successfully. I then packed it in its original box and stored it in my garden shed. (A regular 8'x8', run-of-the-mill, wooden shed - nothing unusual). It appears summer temperatures in a regular shed are too much for the plastic used in the construction. When I used it again the following spring the pieces were very slightly distorted, so the seal was not airtight. And no vacuum = no suction = a useless lump of plastic.
There's no warning on the box about temperature/dimensional stability and for this much money I'm furious!
