Oase PondoVac 4 Pond Vacuum Cleaner

Excellent for sucking up fine debris in a swimming pool

We have a ‘rill’ that has a circular stretch around a central island. Manoeuvring around the island with the two long hoses and the flex can be a pain. On the plus side, it deals very efficiently with the garden debris that inevitably ends up in the rill. Definitely a machine I would recommend.

Do some more overtime and spend the extra on this. All you do is pilot the head around the pond, no stopping , the emptying is automatic and works faultlessly. A selection of heads provides you with the right one for different situations. Its easy to clean and understand. An outstanding piece of kit. I removed pounds of debris from an old garden pond.

This has a really powerful motor and sucked up 5 bags of silt on first use. It is important the clean the two filters each time. Comes with a variety of cleaning heads for different applications. The clear suction tube is very useful to see what is going on. Not cheap but worth it.

This item is fantastic, really impressed with the results and how clear my pond is. One piece arrive slightly damaged - seller was quick to respond and sent out a new piece without fuss - Highly recommended

Works well, just pricey

I received the above item in a sealed box but unfortunately the blanket weed attachment was missing. I contacted the supplier Aquatix-2u Ltd who sent the replacement part out immediately which is absolutely fantastic service from Tina and worthy of a top review alone. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but it looks a typical good quality product from Oase.

Unfortunately, this Pond Vacuum just does not work for the job I needed it for. If you want to clean out your pond and pump all the water and detritus onto the garden (or wherever) I am sure it works very well. However, if you wish to clean fine dead algae from the bottom of the pond and return the water to the pond it simply does not work effectively.(Our pond is about 5000 litres and has a UV filter which kills and filters what it sucks through the pump, but does nothing for the stuff that settles to the bottom) The filter bag is not fine enough to remove the fine algae from the water, so it goes back into the pond as dirty as it came out - less large things such as leaves. I found that by pumping the return water through the polyester of an old pillow, the water is much clearer but this is messy, inconvenient and inefficient so I had no choice but to return this ( costly) item for a full refund under the no quibble guarantee. No problem with this...Amazon were very helpful.
