POND VAC

[nitrojunkie]

top of the day to everyone does anybody use a pond vac thinking of purchasing a oase pondovac 4
our pond is around 13000 gal so draining be comes a hassle we are keeping it pretty clean by netting in fall
but still end up with leaves and a few acorns the bottom drain is very useful but there are spots that don't make it there
vac is kind of pricey previously just used a net but leaves make mess of water seems to take longer for filter to catch all

thanks Dave

if i had to do it over again i would make my own the vacs they have out there are pricey and can be a bit whimpy i have the Matala cyclone it works well except with oak leaves. a few home made adapters and it works well with the gravel in the pond.

I have a Pondovac 4. I like it, but there is a learning curve involved with using it. Is your pond lined or natural? 13,000 gallons is huge! Not sure a Pondovac would do much good — a drop in the bucket, so to speak! If it’s a natural pond, not sure I would recommend it for that.
