Default Would this work as a ponf bottom cleaner?

IME, having many above ground pondlets, 70 gallons max. this will work,
only I'm wondering how well it will with a 3" diameter hose. I use the
clear tubes that are about 1/2" diameter. Mine can all be done from the
side, so I'll be interested in how a 3" tube works in a pond large enough
to climb into..... for that matter, how you get your mouth around a 3"
tube/hose to start the siphon. ;o)

The suction would only stop if you were filling another container and its
level became the same as the ponds.

Are you going to run this from a pump or strictly through a siphon? If a
siphon, I don't think you'll get enough suction to make it work.
