Oase Pondovac 4 Pond Vacuum

Product Information

The new model PondoVac 4 incorporates the latest Oase engineering technology with 20% more power than its predecessor (the Pondovac 3) and capable of vacuuming down to depths of 2. The universal nozzle, which is used for most cleaning tasks, can be adjusted between 2mm to 10mm in width. The twin chamber Pond Vac 4 saves precious time, facilitates pond cleaning, assists existing filtration systems and guarantees a perfect result.

You usually get what you pay for though – so if you need a reliable and powerful pond vac be prepared to spend a bit more.There are three factors affecting the “cleaning radius” of a pond vac: cord length, hose length and maximum suction depth. It’s clearly designed for efficient pond cleaning, as its 1350 Watt motor and 25L capacity tank means you can collect plenty of waste with plenty of power. Keep in mind these important points and your pond vacuum should be just right for you…happy cleaning!

It made a noticeable difference to the pond surface and was a lot easier to set up and use than a manual vacuum to give it a brief clean. It uses a hosepipe (in most cases) to create suction at the end of the vacuum, meaning that you use a similar technique to using a net, but you collect debris more efficiently.

If, on the other hand, you just need a pond vacuum for clearing small amounts of debris from a shallow pond (perhaps if your filter misses a small area), then the PondXpert is a great choice. They’re a great feature to have and can be a pain to get right, so whether it’s a small rocky pond or a full-blown fish pond, it can really make your garden look decorative and to be blunt, it’s very impressive! If you want the vacuum to dump the cleaned material far away from the pond, the length of the discharge hose is also important. A hose that’s too long, however (4m+) isn’t ideal either, as the amount of suction will decrease the longer the hose is.

They’re perfect for smaller ponds when a vacuum might just be a bit too much, so they deserve to be on the list. A suction hose shorter than this can really reduce how flexible you can be when operating the vacuum, and it requires a lot more movement and effort. EASY TO INSTALL: This easy to assemble underwater cleaning tool is simply powered by the water pressure from a.Of all the vacuums in this list, this one is by far the best in terms of function, efficiency and reliability. However, this 1000 Watt motor means you have a similar amount of power to other pond vacuums, so the suction strength is similar and should therefore collect the debris from your pond efficiently. It has a sleek black design and is made by PondXpert which, surprisingly, specialises in pond equipment. Thanks to transport rollers and adjustable handles, the PondoVac 4 can be easily moved to the desired location. The OASE Pond Vac 4 is also supplied with robust aluminium extension pieces, sludge collection bag, accessory tidy and an array of nozzle attachments to tackle removal of silt, fish waste, leaf debris, slime algae and blanketweed.

That said, you might be wondering why it’s not in first place, it has everything you need and is great, so why not? It has slightly less power and capacity than the Oase pontec pondomatic, and it doesn’t look as good either. The Oase Pondovac 4 avoids the annoyance of container capacity restrictions, allowing the pond to be vacuumed constantly. Oase have also included an additional suction nozzle in with the Pondovac 4 - the Area Nozzle is ideal for large open areas of pond. We had looked for this for quite a long time without success until we came across Water Gardening online.Please note that this head is for the more powerful Pondovac 4 which produces up to 5000 litres per hour. You can really feel the power when you use it too, so you don’t have to worry about not picking up the smaller bits of waste. Can be used for cleaning garden ponds, pools and swim ponds as well as a wet vacuum in the household. If you want to drain the collected water elsewhere though (such as the garden), then this isn’t actually necessary. The final spot in our list is another hand pump vacuum, which is really similar to the MAGT jet vacuum and works just as well.
