my pond vac does not have much power and i am looking to buy a new one. does anyone now of a good budget one?
thanks

I use a [url=http://www.gardensite.org.uk/aquatics/pondvacs.php]Laguna Pond Vacuum Kit[/url] £15-£20 they are plastic and the joint will brake, as long as you support it well when leaving the water it will last ages. I use mind ever 3 - 4 days.

I have a pond vac 3 and although I see why they have had a constant draw through the vac if you suck up enough debris it will not allow the rubber valves to close and eventualy suction is lost. This happens more often when doing dirty filters/ponds and can become a little tedious. Pondvac 2 was the best so far imho.

the pond vac 2 is the one i was looking at. just dont want to spend my money on somethick thats not anygood. looks like 150 pounds is the price to pay.

they have stopped making the pon vac 2 and they now have the pondomatic is it anygood.

I have a pond vac 2, great and available everywhere at the moment for under £100 as they are clearing stock to rip yuo off for the pondvac 3

Hi Micheal

The only comment I would make about the PondVac 2 is that if your pond is raised above ground to any extent then it is a complete pain in the bum to operate because to function properly it must be above the waterline. The only option is to create some sort of trolley to pull it around at the correct height; otherwise you are trying to vacuum and balance the thing on the pond wall which ain't particularly easy.

Works fine when below water level as long as you pull the hose out when its emptying otherwise you set up a syphon
