pond vacuums.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The one in the link is great! I complained about my buddies 6 year old Koi pond being dirty so he bought one FOR ME TO CLEAN IT WITH! LOL!!! (He paid me to clean it) Don't bother with the less expensive models as this one is the only one that is continuous. The less expensive model (can't remember the model #) shuts off when the tank gets full. This one (the one in your link) has two tanks that fill and drain repeatedly. Just make sure you have a place for all the muck to go that comes out of the outlet. Gravel and long stringy plants will clog up the inlet and outlet hoses too (it gets stuck in the flapper mechanisms for the inlet and outlet) if you suck up enough of it. Once you get the hang of it they work great! I agree with all of the reviews on your link too.
 
ok I got my pondvac. it sucks good but it loses power it seems, the suction stops and it stops sucking or goes slow. is this normal or what
 
When it goes slow, pull back a bit so that the tube just rests in water and let it clear itself. With me it sucked up all my garbage gravel and other muck and didn't get stuck at all. I rent it from my local pond store 2x a year for about $25 for 24 hrs. I wish I had the money to buy one but 2x a year works for me with a Python Ultivac the rest of the time.
 
ok thanks. yeah man its great, my pond looks so good. my fish are loving it im sure. i will use this once a week. though im still confused on everything im suppose to check/clean after each use.
 
Did it come with a video? My friends did. Just pull the top off and clean out the "filter", rinse out the tank and hoses, and you're good to go for next time! Easy!
