How long does it take you to clean your pond?

[studd muffin]

In the summer I will trim the dead lilies every 3 days (10 minutes) and clean the mechanical filter every week (30 minutes). Bio filter I clean every 6 weeks (45 minutes) in the summer.

In the winter I do close to nothing. I clean the mechanical filter every 3 weeks [no freeze over here - low is 9c] (20 minutes).

At the end of the winter (Mar/Apr), I rent a pond vacuum, take out all the plants and prune them, clean the mechanical and bio filters and that generally takes me about 6 hours. But that is once yearly.

How much does it cost to rent one? Wish there was a place where I can rent one.
