Mike I would use a Muck Vac
Eliminates muck and fish waste without causing turbidity in pond water
or displacing fish or plants. System includes: Muck Vac power head,
vac head and brush, hose, and adapter. No moving parts for lasting
use. Requires 50 psi minimal gardenhose pressure.

You can find this wholesale to the public at

I hope you find this useful,

What is the best way to clean out the muck and leaves from one's pond?
Doing it by hand is not very efficient. My pond is just under 1000 gallons.
