When your pond is clear you can see the bottom of the pond. However, this often reveals the thick, unsightly layer of sludge, dead vegetation, fish waste, cut grass and leaves at the bottom of the pond. Not only is this debris unsightly it also produces ammonia and the foul gases which all pond owners fear.
Ubbink have now come up with a solution to the problem.
Ubbink's VacuPro makes it possible to remove the waste from a pond (up to 1.3m in depth) without having to go to the trouble of pumping the water out of the pond, without having to evacuate the pond dwellers and without irritation from the pungent smell of ammonia.
This pond vacuum cleaner can remove dirt particles up to 10 mm in size, algae, sludge, and dead vegetation from the pond by way of suction. It takes about 1 to 2 minutes to fill depending on the consistency of the sludge and the setting of the hose inlet adjustment. The 20 litre tank features a unique automatic sludge draining system.
The sludge is drawn through one of the four suction nozzles into the container. Once the container is full, the vacuum automatically switches off and a special valve at the end of the 1.5 m long discharge hose opens to release the sludge and water taking approximately 30 seconds. When the tank is completely drained the vacuum must be switched on again so that the cleaning cycle can be repeated. Please note this pond vacuum is not suitable for commercial use.
The discharged sludge and water can be used on garden beds as fertilizer. Coarse debris can be collected in the special mesh bag at the end of the discharge hose, or released on to the garden.
As a guide, a pond 3m x 2m pond should take about 30 minutes to vacuum provided there were not to many obstructions
