It is well known how a vacuum works and what the components are. I urgently needed it for the poop of the fish.
Here it might be interesting the simple and effective configuration of the intake port. After several "experiments" with different configurations I found this the most robust and, above all, it does not get stick in irregular bottom surfaces and/or stones. I have stones, flat, but all the time a problem for sliding the intake.
The holes must be smaller as the gravel you use, for normal use, and it can be easily removed for vacuuming of difficult corners since the check valve is at the end of the pipe. The pipe is 1" and as long as necessary for every pond size.
I had the old pump lying around for years and finally it found its place at home
.
Hope this idea to be of help
