A break-through in pond vacuum design - vacuum the pond clean without stopping! Pondovac 4 avoids the annoyance of container capacity restrictions, allowing the pond to be vacuumed without stopping
The two chamber System
Two simular sized chambers are filled and emptied in alternating cycles. If one container is full then a valve is mechanically activated by a float. This triggers emptying of one and at the same time allows the other cylinder to be filled. This is how both vacuuming and emptying of the container can occur at the same time!
- Wheels allow the vacuum can be easily moved.
- Nozzles included a special string algae nozzle, a wide nozzle with a rubber lip, a crevice tool and a floor nozzle, an adjustable suction nozzle (inlet opening is adjustable from 2mm to 10mm)
- It is also ideally suited for wet vacuum implementation in the household.
Clear pond water at last!
The use of well designed filter systems, following good advice from specialists and observing the laws of nature help you to keep your pond water clear; so clear that 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.
OASE have now come up with a solution to the problem.
Pondovac 4 makes it possible to remove the sludge from a pond (up to 1.5m 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 sludge vacuum cleaner can remove dirt particles up to 10 mm in size, algae, sludge, and dead vegetation from the pond by way of suction. The discharged sludge and water is sent directly** to garden beds or grass as fertilizer. Coarse debris can be collected in the special mesh bag if needed. **As an alternative a simple filter could be set up so the water was recycled and the sludge captured in the filter.
As a guide, a pond 4m x 3m pond should take about 25 to 30 minutes to vacuum provided there were not to many obstructions
- Pondovac 4, for fast, easy and clean pond sludge removal.
- The Pondovac 4 can also be used as a wet vacuum cleaner.
