wet/dry pump vac to clean pond bottom?
QUESTION: Year two here with my little 6x4 pond, and there is a layer of mud, leaves and
assorted goo in the bottom of the pond. Can I stick a wet/dry pump vac hose in the
bottom of the pond then turn the vac on and suck up the muck? I figured if I
raised the hose out of the pond before I turned off the moter I wouldn't have a
back wash problem. Will this work? Your thoughts?
ANSWER: That is exactly what I have been doing and it works but it takes a lot of
"loads" to complete.
It works for me. I do it in the fall when all little critters are gone
and pour the water and muck through a net.
Get a shop vac made for water it has a hole in it to discharge the water.
