The Pond GuyClearVac Pond Vacuum, Powerful Motor Quickly Removes Sludge & Debris, Dual Chamber Reservoir for Nonstop Use, 4 Interchangeable Nozzle Attachments, 5 Extension Tubes, 8 Ft Discharge Hose

I'm submitting this review after just one use so far but I'm very satisfied with this product. I have a small 300 gallon pond that has been a real pain to clean by hand, emptying the pond and literally getting in on my knees and scooping out the sludge with a bucket by hand. Decided to buy this vacuum in hopes it would work as advertised. I can honestly say it has so much power it could've sucked out my entire pond in minutes. The assortment of nozzles are very handy. The sludge was gone in a couple passes. Was very simple to clean the unit with a garden hose. It is mostly plastic but seems very sturdy and well designed. I did buy some velcro straps to store the hoses/cord, as they always seem to unravel and tangle. It now stores neatly in my shed. I can totally recommend this vacuum as of now, I see no reason why it would give me any issues.

This vacuum cleaner is pretty nice, we had lot's of gunk on the bottom of the pool after spring pollen season. With this vacuum cleaner we were able to sparkling clean our pool. The cleaner itself is not super convenient to use. Lot's of hoses to move around, but it got the work done.

After watching the video on your site, I decided to order. Quick delivery and easy to get ready for use. After a simple try, it seems to work great and easy to use. Recommend this product and this business.

This vacuum sucks, but not in the way you need it to. It started out strong but within minutes suction was way down. We checked filters and everything we could think of for blockage and found nothing. We also noticed it looked like the filters were supposed to have screws holding them in place. Ours did not and the filters easily fell out of place. It's frustrating to work with and isn't getting the job done. We found we had better luck with the shop vac. Will likely return it.

This pond vacuum did an excellent job of cleaning the muck from my pond. I was somewhat skeptical after reading reviews but I had to get my pond clean so I went ahead and ordered it. I have purchased The Pond Guy products before and have always been satisfied. Their pond vac worked like a charm. The only issue I had was with the filter bag not allowing much water to flow through, but I had so much muck in my pond that the bag quickly got filled with muck. I removed the bag and just let the mucky water drain onto my lawn. The suction was so good that it started sucking up the small rocks I have on the bottom. I changed nozzles to the large object barrier nozzle and only the smallest of pebbles got sucked up. I would much rather have the good suction than worry about small rocks getting sucked up. Very happy with purchase and would buy again.

I've had several different models of similar vacuums over the years and this appears to yanold model of a more expensive brand. The first time I used it the handle at the end of the hose broke. I had a hose saved from an older model and started using that instead. Halfway through cleaning, less than 30 minutes, the vac stopped switching tanks and would no longer suck through the intake. Instead it sucked from the output. I checked the flap and it is fine, the floats in the tank are working also. The design pretty simple so it's usually easy to find an issue but the inside of the tank is clean. I've tried everything I think of and have given up. Do not buy this vac, it's a waste of money.

This was what i needed to service my pond. It works so well than i only have to do this every 4 months. not inexpensive but well built and worth it

This unit should have had a 2" inlet hose, instead of a very restricted 1 1/4" inlet hose. Could not handle any leaf matter. Big design flaw! Before I was going to send this unit back, I hooked up the inlet side to my 2" shop vac hose . . . surprisingly, it fit into the tank inlet (with a slight looseness, which turned out to be OK). I connected two 2"x8' shop vac hoses (with a coupling I made from a shop vac wand section) and voilà, it performed like a champ, sucking up leaves and muck efficiently. The 2" brush attachment did a far superior job than any other attachment, with the bristles acting to sweep debris into the vacuum column within the hose. I have decided to keep this unit--flaws and all--because it allows continuous discharge that simplifies the process, as opposed to the shop vac, which when full, shuts down. Pond Guy, you've got a good product but this design flaw makes it a loser for all-around efficiency. Change your design and you will have a big winner. And when you do and make millions from your revised unit, please send me my finders-fee of $20,000.00!
