The Matala "Muck Buster" is one of the most powerful pond vacuums on the market today. The suction will actually lift 5' above water level. This unit has an auto fill and drain cycle and a powerful 2hp motor plus a 5 gallon capacity. Large 16' suction hose plus 5 extension tubes. Four different heads included.
Will suction dirt and debris up to 3/8". Discharge hose is 8' and a mesh bag collects coarse debris. Dirty water discharge in approximately 30 seconds. 16' cord. The vacuum is not a continuous vacuum and will stop as the unit is filled and automatically discharge the dirty water and then automatically start up again.
Summer usually means increased pond water loss due to evaporation, which of course leads to topping off our ponds more. You should always add dechlorinator when topping off the water level of a pond. Any amount of chlorine (such as that found in treated water) can be harmful to your fish. Even if it is not enough chlorine to mean immediate death of the fish, this chlorine can still cause harm to proper gill function.
