When preparing your pond for winter one of the best things you can do is to clean it before the temperatures drop significantly.

It made a noticeable difference to the pond surface and was a lot easier to set up and use than a manual vacuum to give it a brief clean.Specification: Energy use: 1400 w, Container capacity: 25 l, Cleaning hose length: 4 m, Power Cable Length: 4 m The twin chamber Pond Vac 4 saves precious time, facilitates pond cleaning, assists existing filtration systems and guarantees a perfect result.

If the PondoVac is outside your price range, the Oase Pondomatic is a great alternative. While it’s not as powerful as the PondoVac and has a shallower suction depth, it’s still a powerful pond vacuum that does a great job of cleaning debris and sludge. The difference in price is also substantial. Since manual vacuums are expensive, they should have a motor of at least 1000 watts. This is enough suction power to make sure you get the job done, but the more powerful the motor, the smaller bits of debris will be collected. Aside from how easy it is to use, we like that the AquaVac doesn’t require fitting a hose pipe or any electricity. It’s reasonably effective at cleaning up sludge and smaller debris, so it can greatly speed up the process of cleaning a small pond. The Oase Pondovac 4 is capable of vacuuming down to depths of 2.4 metres. Also the Oase Pondovac 4 achieves non-stop cleaning avoiding annoying stop/start container emptying, like some of its inferior competitors and the old Pondovac 2.The PondoVac Classic is suitable for effective sludge removal by means of a powerful 1400 W motor. It contains fully automatic activation and emptying by intelligent motor electronics. The PondoVac Classic impresses with its compact design with a 27 l tank and powerful suction up to a depth of 1.5 m. The scope of delivery includes 4 different suction nozzles: crevice nozzle, algae nozzle, flat nozzle with rubber lip and variable universal nozzle (2 – 10 mm), including 4 m suction and 2 m drain hose.

NON-STOP TECHNOLOGY: The two cylinders of the same size in the two-chamber system fill and empty simultaneously, in an alternating fashion. This enables non-stop suctionIt’s true there are other methods for removing sludge and debris. A simple net can work if you don’t mind getting your hands dirty. You can also buy ​”sludge removers” to break down debris and leave your pond looking cleaner. The best way to clean your pond without a pond vacuum is with a brush and a pool skimmer net.
