  Innovation and design of pond equipment in UK since 1981

This pond cleaner easily removes fish manure and food waste from the floor of Koi Carp ponds.

Ideal for architectural water features & small leaf-free ponds.

The Hozelock Pond Vac is the preferred choice for: 

• Sydney Taronga Zoo - ponds for the Herpitofauna (reptile & amphibian) division
• Western Sydney University - ponds for research into the Bellinger River Snapping Turtle (Myuchelys georgesi) 

Quick & easy to set-up, to use and to store away. No big barrels to lumber around. Great customer feedback.
For use in ponds but requires a minimum operating depth to work of 200mm. A compact and lightweight, continuous running, pond vacuum cleaner for quickly cleaning and removing thin layers of sludge waste from smaller garden ponds and architectural water features with a minimum of effort.

Please Note Limitations: NOT SUITABLE FOR LEAVES, STICKS OR PINE NETTLES. They will simply clog it.  For further limitations, see note below.

Ideal for rainwater tank sludge removal from the floor, for up to 2.1m high tanks with a top access opening of minimum 150mm diameter. The tank must have water in it. Duct tape a waterproof battery torch to the handle to see where you are going as you work through the top opening.

Waste the sludge & water directly onto the garden or recycle the water as described below.

Allows you to easily recycle the pond water.

1. Simply waste the vacuumed pond water & sludge into a large tub or wheelie bin. Let it settle for an hour to clear.
2. Return the solids-free, now clear, water back into the pond with the Pond Vac, effectively meaning zero water loss.
3. Place the remaining solids from the vessel into the garden as superb fertilizer.
4. Alternative: Tie a large laundry netting bag to the end of the waste pipe. Hang it over the edge of the pond. When the bag is full, spread the waste on the garden.

A review from UK "This vac is great, I use it also in my 15 foot above ground swimming pool, turn the hose back down the shaft so the water goes back in to the pool and fix with a cable tie a fine mesh bag to the end of the hose to catch the bits, works a treat!!"
