Our pond society is considering is considering buying a Pond o Vac 3 or 2

worked out all the details but one major one has come up:

What would have to be done to insure that if one pond had KHV or just bad
bacterial and parasites, that it did not get transfered to other ponds?

Why couldn't you just sterilize it by running 70% isopropanol through it for
a few hours? Potassium permanganate, dark enouh to obscure light or 24 hours
in a salt solution are also recommended (by Untergasser) sterilizers.

I don't know if anyone has a legal background but how 'legal' would we have
to be to insure against someone suing (successfully) because they lost fish
due to possible cross contamination.

Anybody can sue you anytime in America. There's nothing you can do about
that. Whether their suit has any merit and how to prtect yourself
against litigation are questions for a competant attorney in good
standing in your are and only a fool would take guesses from usenet
about legal issues.
