I would not recommend this product. I could not get the refuse bag to stay on the unit securely and when I turn the garden hose on, the effect is to shoot a stream of water through the refuse bag, blasting away anything you might collect. You also need quite a bit of water pressure to get some worthwhile suction.

I've used this a couple of times in my 4' x 4' fountain base. It works well, but since it also stirs up the water, it's hard to get all the scum at one time. So, I'm trying to use it once a week. But, yes, it does eliminate some of the scum on the bottom.

ORDERED THE POND MINI-VAC,RECIEVED IT IN ONLY A FEW DAYS. WORKS GREAT FOR SOMETHING SO SMALL.I WOULDN'T USE IT FOR A VERY LARGE POND.WHEN THE BAG GETS TOO FULL IT SOMETIMES POPPED OFF.I ONLY LET IT GO TO ABOUT 3/4 FULL SO IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN.

I'm considering returning this item. Although it did suck up a little bit of waste, the way it stirred up the water and make it murky, plus added a lot of other water to the pond wasn't worth it. Atleast it didn't cost a fortune.

What a disaster.

Our water pressure is unusually robust, yet the bag filled with only about a half a cup of sediment from the bottom of our small pond even after 10 minutes of vacuuming.

10 minutes of hosewater entering your pond fills it up pretty quick--because there's no drainage mechanism.

1) Remove about 10 buckets of water from your pond, because it's gonna fill up fast.
2) Get some duct tape and attach your own extension handle, none is included.
3) After about 10 minutes with the bag full of maybe 1/2 cup of debris, give up.

Why is no extension stick included? Awful. How about putting in a screw end that fits every broom handle under the sun? Nope. They want you to buy one from them.

I would love to see a company representative demonstrate this.

I'm too embarrassed to ask for a refund. It would be like asking for a refund from a con man, I deserve it.

The only thing I would change is - make the bag larger and add an extra bag in case one rips. Other than that, great buy. You'll be AMAZED at the crud in your pond!
