Default wet/dry vac to clean pond bottom?




Here is a attachment I came up with for my wet/dry vac to help in
sucking the skud off the bottem. All the parts can be gotten at Home
Depot. You may need a fitting that will go from the PVC to the Vac
hose. I used one that was like a big funnel and cut it to fit.

Thanks for the tip Ann, I'll try it that way. I have about 20 gold fish in the
pond with one frog 3 tadpoles and 5 snails (big shells) so if I go slow I
shouldn't take up any of the residents in the vac.

If your debris is too big, what you might try is to push the
opening fairly tightly against the pond bottom and only let up a little bit,
as you move it along. Good luck.
