Questions & Answers

The vacuum has a lot of mud/sludgy dirt in it, can it remove that as well?

believe it would be better to remove the water from the top of the mud first. The only thing I had a little difficulty with was the mud and crud.

When you empty dirty water, what do you do?

A hose connected to an upper part of the machine is vacuuming in Clean water is being returned to the pool through the lower attached hose with the filtering bag floating above it. The process is water-saving because it recycles. In the event that the bag is full of debris, empty the solid debris in a trash bag or better yet, add it to the soil as fertilizer. There is a string attached to the bag to help secure it in place. When the bag was full, it did not keep the bag in place. I bought some double side Velcro at Home Depot and it kept the bag Now that the minor additions have been made, the operation of this vacuum is greatly improved. Thank you so much for your help. I hope it has been helpful. Nice to see you.

Are there supposed to be extension tubes included with this? No one had any of them in mine. ?

There is a tube you can see on top- In addition to two black and one clear hose, a mesh filter bag, and several attachments, the kit includes two hoses and two hoses. It was not clear what the attachments were used for from the instructions on the box, so I cut it off.

In order to accomplish this, does the pond have to be drained?

It is a drain hose with a filter bag attached around it that is put in the pond to catch the water. It is vacuumed up and then sucked up through the filter bag and returned to the pond

Fountains for outdoor areas are a great fit for this product
5/5

An outdoor fountain that does not have a filter exists in our yard. As a previously owned property, I either had to drain the fountain with a pump or a watering can It should be allowed to Flush and refill the fountain after you have cleaned out the algae. My vacuum did not work. It took hours to clean. I had to hire a professional to use something like this frequently during the warm season (we live in Southern California), which became very costly. I tried small handheld vacuums, but they did not work. It's a vacuum cleaner I bought The assembly and use of this item is a breeze and it sucked away all of the algae, dirty water, and everything else in After that, I filled it up again. I'll be able to save about $1,000 a year in professional cleaning and dozens of hours of my time thanks to this vacuum. It has excellent suction The parts are simple to use and to A fountain like this is ideal for use outdoors. My search for the perfect product was over. Neither issues nor complaints have been reported. It didn't even matter that I used the bag included with the set to catch We just ran the outlet hose out on our large driveway to rinse the good away, and with a hose, we removed it. As soon as it was exposed to the sun, it dried By using a hose to clean the parts and base, it is easy to clean After everything had dried in the sun, we were ready to use it again. We were especially impressed with how easily it cleaned and how powerful it suctioned. I was pleasantly surprised at how powerful it was, and the clear tube that comes with the extension wand kit makes it easy to see The experience was very satisfying.

The best purchase of all time! The pond vacuum I'm using is awesome! In spite of having a water garden for 20+ years, I decided to go with OASE when researching vacuums, and it's been one of the best investments Where did I go wrong in waiting There is no question that it is It is always possible to improve a product
5/5

For example, having a remote control to turn the appliance on and off and being able to adjust the attachment angle are useful improvements. I actually think the baby koi are quite curious about the intrusion, since the adults don't seem affronted at all.

A lightweight device with a simple operation
5/5

My three small garden fountains needed to be cleaned, so I purchased this. When the tank becomes full, it will shut off automatically, then restart itself after emptying. This is the first time I used the net to remove algae (and Velcro'd it on, as someone suggested). Despite the fact that it worked well, I realized it would be quicker to just empty the water out of the fountain rather than being forced to recycle it. In the instructions there is no information about what all the accessories are for, so I had to keep the parts of the box that contained pictures and descriptions. Amazing product! I love it!.

Pump out the pond
4/5

it to build the pond for our Koi. There is no way to clean around curved rocks since the brush head is too wide and straight. In order to reach tight spaces, you need some kind of small round brush head attachment. The rest of the aspects are.

Investment that has been a great success
5/5

Upon reaching full capacity, this unit turns itself off and drains automatically with a hose equipped with a flapper. Once the unit has drained, the unit automatically turns back on and you can continue to vacuum. I love it.

I wouldn't get my hopes up for this
3/5

There is no way to remove algae with this brush because it is flimsy. It is difficult to get enough suction for leaves, even if they are dry. As I picked up the leaf material, I walked over it multiple times. For all the money spent, I am extremely disappointed. I will have to scrub and clean my carpet by hand.

This pond vacuum is awesome
4/5

It is necessary for me to vacuum my 800 gallon above ground pond because of the fish waste and other debris mother nature leaves behind. There is a lot of water removed from this unit and it seems well built. The suction is good and it is well constructed. An extension hose would have been helpful, but the drain hose was too short and it was too expensive. While it empties the vacuum, it pauses frequently as well. This was known to me before I ordered and is not a big deal. It took me only 20 minutes to clean the pond and vac cleanup was simple. My pond took a lot longer to fill than it did to clean. I highly recommend this book.
