My tip is try your shop vac first. ) They will suck up under water and
the fish will move far away. Remember to remove the peated filter. ~ jan

Hi,

I was looking to purchase a pond vacuum, to remove submerged leaves
and gunk from my pond (the pond is about 12ft x 6ft x 2ft deep, with 5
Sarasa's, all of whom survived the zone 5 Chicago winter).

I have the Foster & Smith catalog, and they show several models
that attach to a garden hose to provide the suction. Does anyone have
any experiences, good or bad, with these pond vacuums?
Any tips or concerns?

Thanks in advance for the advice!!!
