How about using a vacuum cleaner made for cleaning swimming pools

My .75hp one I use to clean my pond needs priming and if it sucks in
air, as
it would to remove Duckweed on the surface, it stops sucking and would need
repriming again.

A Vax would do it with no trouble - other than emptying it every fifteen
seconds.
