Thanks for your suggestions. Anything involving 'running' the system for
very long seems impractical as we definitely talking about the wand, hose
etc so this would require quite a 'loop'. It is interesting. I have called
a couple of pond maintenance services around here. It is pretty clear to me
that they are suggesting a way to clean it, but it is not there normal
practice.

I will continue looking.

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?

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.

A ratio of bleach & water is usually the standard method for cleaning
something. There might be something regarding this at the AKCA.org website
or Google for it. ~ jan
