Controlled Cleaning ToolA pond vacuum is not a shop vacuum, and its not designed to be. A pond vacuum is designed to be a more controlled, steady cleaning tool, allowing you to clean your pond without harming your fish or disrupting the delicate aquatic habitat. |
Remove Large Debris Before VacuumingThe ClearVac is designed to remove sludge, muck, algae, and debris up to 3/8 of an inch, that’s about the size of a dime. Before using your vacuum, remove large leaves, twigs, and acorns with a pond net. The ClearVac pond vacuum also comes with a debris bag. |
For Best ResultsYou will achieve optimal suction if you place the ClearVac at the same level as the water. Your intake and discharge hoses should remain fully extended, not coiled or kinked. When vacuuming, you will get the best results if you move the intake hose in a slow, uniform fashion. |
How big of leaves can the vacuum remove?
The ClearVac pond vacuum is designed to remove pond muck, leaves, algae, and debris up to 3/8" - about the size of a dime. The vacuum is ideal for small to medium-sized debris such as small pine needles and small leaves. Large leaves, twigs, acorns, and other large items should be removed with a pond net prior to vacuuming.
What do I do with the water I vacuum out?
Do not return water from the discharge hose back to the pond. Returning the water will only return the excess nutrients, muck, and small debris. The discharge hose and debris bag can be safely run to nearby landscape or garden beds. The excess nutrients removed from the pond act as an excellent fertilizer for other plants.
Where do I place my ClearVac?
For best results, position the ClearVac at or near water level. You will achieve optimal suction if the unit is placed at the same level as the water.
How much water will I lose with each use?
You should expect about a 10-25% loss of water. A pond vacuum is designed to be a controlled cleaning tool, so that you can clean your pond without disrupting your fish or the aquatic habitat, and without draining your entire pond.
Can I use an extension cord with the pond vacuum?
Yes, the ClearVac can be used with an extension cord, but it MUST be a 10 or 12-gauge outdoor-rated extension cord no longer than 50 feet.
