Anyone have any experience with the Shop-Vac 16 Gallon, 6.5 HP Pump
Series Shop Vac? It is $99.00 at Lowes and pumps the water out as you
vacuum it in. MUCH cheaper than the Pond Vac at over $275.00+. My
neighbor just got a Pond Vac from his wife.

The 6.5 amp is going to fillup the 16 gallons in about 60 seconds. It is
amazingly fast.
If you are using this for occassional cleaning of leaves, I'd suggest that
its too strong. For
cleaning major stuff or empting the pond, its great. And don't forget to
remove the filter.
