Default Pond Van Advice

"KerplunKuK" [dot]uk wrote in message
I have a pond that is 5m * 5m * (0.4m-1.5m) deep. It has turtles and fish
in it.
I am looking for a pond vac to use with this, but there seem to be so
many, with so little information.
I am located in the UK, so model available here would be helpful.


I'm not sure what you might call them in the UK, but here we call them shop
vacs or wet & dry vacs. One takes the pleated filter off to do straight
water. With my 12 gallon capacity I can suck up a lot of muck before it is
filled. I did the lily pond this spring 6' X 15' and it took only 4-6
tankful's. ~ jan
