I bought the Oase Pondovac 4 about 6 months ago and used it for the first time yesterday. All I can say is “WOW”. I love it. Thanks for the video and all the tips. I tried using it on my extremely dirty pond laden with oak leaves and unfortunately I had to drain and refill, but I will gladly use the pondovac regularly to keep my pond sparkling clean from today forward. It’s an excellent machine, great suction, able to return vacuumed / filtered water back into pond, and able to vacuum pond and drain unit simultaneously. Highly recommend.

I have a Pondo Vac 5 was not offered a 4 but it works really well! Your walk along the beach look’s relaxing

a really good discription of the pond vac how it works and potential problems, thanks

Superb video….. Thank you for your time and effort

Drain, clean and start again is in my humble opinion the best advice; got to get dirty once in a while ;)

I need help. I bought the Bermuda pondi vacuum off facebook market and it is in good condition. But when I turn the vacuum on within 5 seconds it turns off. It doesn't even matter if hose is in water or not, then I thought it was the plug, but tried another and still the same.

My Pondovac 4 sucks like crazy, then when it seems like it is full, the suction drops massively whilstt it empties. Once it empties it gives me the powerful suction again but the cycle repeats, is that normall? Or should it have the same level of high suction all the time?

My HENRY (W&Dry) works like a SPARTAN . The only down fall doesn’t hold a lot of water but my pond doesn’t really need hoovering 🧐

Since the water can not be filtered, the vacuum cleaner does what a cheap pump does. We tested 3, starting from a very basic to the most expensive Tornado and now they gather dust in the shed. In swimming ponds robots can do good job though.

When i do a water change, i use a 1-3/4" hose with a vacuum nozzle. I attach the hose to my skimmer and direct all suction to the skimmer. I turn the valve to "waste" and vacuum the bottom of the pond using the suction from the skimmer, straight out the waste line. Thank You for reading.

can i use a submersible pond vacuum connected to a filter all year round. IE Hyundai HYSP250C Water Submersible Pump)

4 Like love your content. I do have vaccum love.

Hi, please can you help , Just used one for first time on big pond. It sucks all the stuff up fine , but as I want to save the water back to pond I put the mesh bag on but it fills with water as well as rubbish so needs constant emptying which is annoying and really heavy and wasting the water. Am I doing something wrong ? Thanks

I just use 5ft of old hose pipe with 10 inches of metal pipe on the end to sink it and a bucket😅 mind you i only have a small pond . Works a treat though

I had a pondvac 4 the float system and fan blades in the top broke from a couple of bits of shingle and there is no replacement apart from a complete new motor and head "expensive"

Looked at a pond vacuum. Then saw the prices.. Ludicrous expenditure.. certailny so for my backyard pond. So I Used my Shop vac.. Which worked !! perfectly Even sucked up Rocks.. LOTS of power. Only drawback was that it needed repeated dumping as it was ony a 10 gallon tank.

nice vid. i am a plumber and wanted to use this whilst im working on live water pipes whilst it discharges. could you please tell me if it has powerful suction compared to a wet vac. My 30 litre wet vac fills up in 2 minutes with powerful mains water from a tap but then it doesnt always give me enough time to work as it needs emptying. do you know roughly how long it would take to fill up these oase 4 or 5 to fill up the vac, so then i can determine if the suction is powerful enough for what i need it for. i have looked up the litres per hour which is say 8000per hour, which would mean 133 per minute / 2.2 per second, and most wet vacs suck say 60 litres per second, so i just dont know whether to buy 1 i have called oase customer services and they couldnt really answer. If you feel the suction does it feel as powerful as something like a henry vaccum or a wet vac. if someone could help me with this i would really appreciate as its taking me days to try and find the answer and have watched so many youtube vids and there are no shops that i can test it out....thannnnnk you very much hope that all makes sense !!!

Can you use a pond vac whilst the goldfish are still in the pond ?

puo aspirare grandi quantita di alghe filamentose senza tappare continuamente i motori?

I'm pretty impressed with my Craftsman $49.95 unit from Ace Hardware.

As a pond cleaning professional I have to disagree with you on this one. The pondovac 5 is a much better piece of kit. For the ability to pump uphill/over fence along its worth it. The debris bag is easy to clean/change. But for domestic use a pondovac 3/4 would be fine.

Can I clean a 15 year old pond without draining it

You don’t need to spend lots of money on these. I have a length of 50mm plastic drainpipe with a large air stone and a filter sock over the elbow at the top. Works a treat.
