Muck Vac

[Rbritt]

Opened box but vac is good as new, tried to use it once but don't have enough water pressure from our outside hose (requires 50 psi). I missed the return time to send it back to the retailer so I figured I'd offer it here. Make offer and pay shipping. Hope someone can use it. Thanks.

Still available?

No sorry. I wound up donating it to the dog rescue we volunteer with and they sold it on ebay to help raise funds.

Are pond vacs just basically wet vacs? How do you prevent sucking up fish? (newbie question lol)

 

[DrDave]

By paying attention.

Ha Ha DrDave...........in others words, Malak if you are doing the whacky weed and then the vacuuming say bye, bye to the fishies :bouncycig:

 

[Malak]

Maybe it helps you see them better! :-p

 

[j.w]

Maybe it helps you see so good you think you have double amounts of fishies :alieneyesa:
Maybe it helps you see so good you think you can swim w/ the fishes :surfing:
And maybe it helps you see so good you think you are one of the fishes :lol::lol::lol:

Seriously though, I have minnows... no way you could "see' them 2-3 feet down. Hopefully they would stay away from the scary noisemaking thing. Like when your doc puts his gloves on.

 

[j.w]

A few would prolly get sucked up but some would I'm sure learn from their former buddies which no longer exist in their world anymore, wouldn't ya think? I don't know if they are that smart or like you said, the noise would scare them. But then you know how inquisitive they can be. When I've gone in the pond they eventually come and pick at my legs even tho at first they might be scared. Ha ha to the doctor...........run for you lives :alieneyesa:

Maybe don't flip it on until you are touching the bottom? I did save some snails after i mucked the little ponds bottoms with a shop vac.

Yeah jw they will be screaming go back go back it is a .vac. job lmao

i have a muc vac...it works fine...its nothing like a shopvcac...it hooks up to your garden hose and discharges out the end of a hose. it also discharges pond water as you vacuum...use when you do waterchanges...2 birds 1 stone.... a muc vac should be great on a small preformed pond. to hard to vacuum with all my plants
