the muc vac works fine as long as you have over 50# water pressure from your tap.. be carefull tho, they displace water when used.

no... it works by your hose water rushing thru a venturi type setup but draws pond water and debris with it. the water and debris are sent out a discharge hose so you lose some pond water when you vaccuum. which is o.k scince you should be doing10% average water changes on a regular basis anyway.
