I've had good luck with my Pond Mini Vac -- and found I can use
pantyhose knee-highs instead of the filter bag they sell.

What about the smell?

That's it. It's time to publish that "1001 uses for pantyhose" website...

Some of the pond vacs that use the garden hose do not discharge the water
out of the pond. The chlorine/chloramines in the hose water is being
discharged into the pond and most people don't know how much, so it is
untreated, and can cause fish kills. Some do have a discharge hose to make
the hose water and waste go out of the pond. The ones I have seen, unless
you could get the discharge hose below the level of the pond, were pretty
weak. I have a vac that works very well on ponds of 2000 to 4000+ gallons
shown on Page 4 of my web page below.

I can attest to that. I built one from Rich's specs and am very pleased with
the performance.
