I never had luck with vac or water hose with bags.
I set up the kiddy pond transfer water catch the fish as I pump out the
water. Clean and flush and scoop.
Refill and count the fish on the way back It takes a fire truck and 3/4 of a
day. We make a yearly family event.

I have a 1000 gallon pond. I would like to clean the silt from the bottom
without draining the water. Any advice is appreciated. Frankie
