Cleaning Equipment

The cleaning of the pond can either be a good or bad situation, depending on the season, condition of the pond and the health of the fish. The fall season is the best time of the year for cleaning. A pond can be cleaned in spring but it is not recommended.

A fall cleaning should be completed before the trees and other deciduous plants drop their leaves and before the water temperature drops below 50 degrees. Fall cleaning eliminates the ammonia and other toxins in the water through draining and refilling the pond. The fish can then continue to feed in a healthy environment enabling them to build up their strength and immunities to disease and bacteria before entering the stressful winter season.

PondoVac 3 avoids the annoyance of container capacity restrictions, allowing the pond to be vacuumed continuously.

• Two chamber system are filled and emptied in alternating cycles. If one container is full a valve is mechanically activated by a float.  This triggers emptying of one chamber while the other is being filled. 

• Built in wheels allow for easy movement and transportation.

• Includes a special string algae nozzle, a wide nozzle with a rubber lip, a crevice tool and a floor nozzle, vacuum tube extension, and debris collection bag.
