Has anyone tried the vacuum kit for cleaning the bottom of the pond that is
hooked up to a hose and has a reusable bag at the top...?? It states just

Yes, they work reasonably good. Home Depot sells it as well. There are
2 sizes of bag mesh. To get the smallest size you may need to get that
from a pool supply store. I sometimes use 2 bags or even a panty hose
for the real fine stuff.

Remember you are adding water during this process so be careful to
de-chlor.

If you have very good pressure on your garden hose you can connect a
discharge hose (instead of the bag) and suck the waste out of the pond.
