I'm on my second vac for the last 7 years. My first was used RIGID, now I have a SHOP VAC 60.5 gallows. It has a wide mouth so a 3g pale can fit inside to scoop out the water. Dedicated pond vacs would be more expensive I imagine as anything pond or koi related tend to be overpriced.
Hi Paul mate 👍🏼 I'm sure you have good reason but I'll ask anyway. You have a bottom drain so do you really need to vacuum? If the flow is enough then there shouldn't be anything on the bottom to require vacuuming surly. I'm pretty sure we have the pond vac 4 somewhere, we use it for the dogs swimming pool in the summer. Take care matey 👍🏼
Hi Paul I've subscribed to your channel. Could you tell me what those metal/plastic rods are around your pond that have hooks on for what looks like fishing line to stop the Heron and where did you purchase them from please? Hope you can help. Thanks. Claire.
😂😂😂You definitely won't be resurrecting that one moses mate 🙄🙄🙄fry are coming along fecking awesome 💯👌👍👍👍
Haha....she started to cry at the end of her life mate...RIP

Pondvac4. Not the cheapest but does give continuous vacuuming so does the job in a fraction of the time of the single cylinders.
The thing i liked about the one i had was that once it filled up the waste tub it gave me time to water the plants with the water
@@PaulsKoipond still can just turn it off once your buckets full
Hi mate u have some nice fish in them tanks. Nice set up buddy. Shame about the hoover. Looks like a pondvac is needed.
Cheers Kev...i will look into them
Oops oh deer paul. I have looked on amazon and there is one on there i like the look of, but dont know if its any good mate.

If all else fails shake the hell out of it.. Oh its dead now
She did well mate...ive had it for years and sucking all that clay water up didn't do any good
When the water was pouring out of the top i thought it was crying 😥
@@PaulsKoipond I bet..
