About the PondHero Sludge Muncher Vacuum

Manufacturer: PondHero

The PondHero Sludge Muncher pond vacuum is the bestselling pond vacuum in the UK.

PondHero Sludge Muncher pondvac will suck up the dirt and debris from your garden pond.
It matches up with the specification of other competitor pond vacuums on the market but at a much lower price point. It is designed to be operated pond-side and works on a cycle operated by a float switch.

Directions for use:
- Ensure the pond vacuum is HIGHER than the level of the pond
- Simply push the suction nozzle towards the part of your pond you want to clean & watch as the dirt is sucked away and your pond begins to clean.
- Once the pond vacuum reservoir is full the motor stops automatically allowing the dirty water to run away to waste. (the vacuum must be HIGHER than the area you are discharging the water to) - Once the chamber has emptied, the vacuum will re-start the cycle

The unit also has the benefit of a secondary 'indoor' mode - here the motor remains on and there is no timer valve in operation. Now any dirt will be picked up and stored in the vacuum bag (provided).

NOTE: This does not come with a discharge basket. We do have a vacuum and discharge basket offer available.

NOTE: Wheels not included but can be purchased separately here.

Vac good but needs modification to outlet as bag detritus gets pushed into outlet hole and blocks hole brought some wire mesh and a jubilee clamp to fix issue. Also had to repair detritus bag as stitches around zip ripped due to getting pushed into outlet hole. Apart from tiss issue pond vac worked very good.

Very pleased with the Pondhero Vacuum which arrived promptly and once it was assembled performed the task of clearing the debris and sludge from the bottom of my pond. I was impressed to find that it was also versatile and can be used as a regular dry vac and also to clear up liquid spillage and also to pump water from the filter box. Great value for money.

Attracted by the price, aquarium shop advice - and the fabulous name. Well-packed box arrived quickly, everything inside, clear instructions, simple to assemble, use and rinse afterwards. Vac sits well on a garden chair (to clean 3-4 cubic m above ground pond and filter), cable & hoses long enough, adequate suction. Intake hose mesh filter bag is long enough to obstruct the exit hose when filling up with gravel & leaves, but the motor stopped each time before it drowned. Overall well designed eg white intake hose extenders allow you to see what you're sucking, simple accessible on off switch, sealed plug on cable ('Don't try this at home' - I dropped mine in the pond, was able to wipe dry and continue). 20cm goldfish didn't seem to mind crevice and small liner tools nearby, neither did I - one of the more enjoyable garden tasks thanks to Sludge-Muncher. All you need are a flock of buckets if you'd rather not waste the sludge
