I have a 200+ gal pond under some oak trees and it gets a lot of debri.
I have tried to use a Shop-vac but it just fills up quickly and quits.
Can anyone give me any ideas on how to modify a Shop-vac, or how to build a
suction device that will get the leaves and other crap out of the bottom of
my pond?
If I can't build one for my own use, are there any good inexpensive ones
that anyone can recommend?

How many gallons is your canister? I use a 12 gallon on my 5'X15' lily pond
~ 1,000 gallons and on my koi ponds and it works great. Perhaps using a
scoop net first and then vac? Did you remove the pleated filter? ~ jan
