Cleaned pond
After thre years, I have finally cleaned the bottom of our pond.
The water is very clean. There is just this layer of grime that seems to build up. Seems like the internal flow deposits it along one side. It gets stirred every couple days as I scoop out leaves. Anyway, I borrowed a 5.5 hp 16 gallon shopvac. I was amazed, no shocked at how fast it sucked up 16 gallons. Sucked out nearly 40 gallons to clean out a 1200 gollon pond. Our pond is conc. I can't imagine using this with a liner. |

I can't imagine using this with a liner. I use one on a plant pond with a liner to pick up river pebbles (marble size) to clean them. So long as there is enough water to weight down the liner it isn't noticeable, but after the water is gone the vacuum does try to pick up the liner. Forty mil rubber is heavy and doesn't move easy. The liner goes back into place when the water is added again, so it is no big deal. Regards, Hal |
