Oase Pondovac 4 Pond Vacuum

Product Information

If you don’t mind the motor switching off to discharge debris, however, then the Pondomatic can make clearing your pond much easier. It’s a powerful 1400W model that’s capable of cleaning down to 2 metres, which is enough for most ponds and swimming pools. There are also four attachments included, such as an algae nozzle and crevice tool. The universal nozzle, which is used for most cleaning tasks, can be adjusted between 2mm to 10mm in width. Maintaining the Pondovac 4 isn't a difficult task either, the pond vacuum has two cylinders which can be emptied in alternating cycles. The two cylinders work non-stop to simultaneously vacuum and empty the pond of water. Two identically sized cylinders are filled and emptied in alternating cycles within the Pondovac 4. If one container is full then a valve is mechanically activated by a float. This triggers emptying of one chamber and at the same time allows the other chamber to be filled. This is how continuous vacuuming and emptying of the containers can occur at the same time with the Oase Pondovac 4! Of course, a brush and skimmer net isn’t nearly as efficient as using a pond vacuum but with some patience you should be able to get the job done. However, be warned that as you get scrubbing the bottom of the pond, your pond’s water will become cloudy until you skim up the big pieces of algae and the finer silt and sand settles.

Let’s start with the pump system. The PondoVac is powered by a 1700W motor that provides ample power for most cleaning jobs. Its strong suction also allows it to clean down to a depth of 2.4 metres, which should be enough for most garden ponds. This might seem obvious, and although it has already been discussed, there’s an important difference between hand pump and manual pond vacuums. Within minutes of your application being approved, you will be presented with the options to either e-sign or print and return your finance agreement. Included in the scope of delivery: Four robust aluminium tubes, special string algae nozzle, broadened universal nozzle, area nozzle, wet suction brush, brush nozzle, debris collection bag, 5 m long suction hose and 2.5 m long discharge hose. Fish ponds can be a beautiful water feature, but they require plenty of maintenance to stay looking their best. Much of this is done by automated filters and drainage, but debris is always going to accumulate in certain areas.

Once you have agreed to the terms of the finance agreement World of Water Partnership trading as World of Waterwill be notified and you need do nothing more. The constant and powerful performance of the pond and pool vacuum has proven itself. With 1700 watts of full power and a maximum suction depth of 2.4m, the PondoVac 4 cleans all kinds of ponds, pools and the household as a wet vacuum cleaner. The highlight is the patented dirt collection system, in which the container is filled and emptied at the same time. This enables you to vacuum without interruption. The suction power can be individually adjusted using a hand controller. Comfortable vacuuming possible to a depth of 2m. Thanks to transport rollers and adjustable handles, the PondoVac 4 can be easily moved to the desired location. The scope of delivery also includes 4 aluminium tubes, 1 transparent suction tube, 5 attachments for cleaning various floors, a dirt collection bag, a 5 m long suction hose and a 2.5 m long drainage hose. Proven OASE quality. For these reasons, if you have large amounts of debris in your pond – or just want to keep it clean without spending hours fishing out twigs with a net – then a pond vacuum is the way to go. The best models can remove both fine silt and larger items, plus they are much faster and more convenient.

A bonus is the PondoVac 4 comes with several attachments. These include a broadened universal nozzle, algae nozzle and wet suction brush. You’ll probably use the universal nozzle most of the time, but it’s great to have the option of other attachments for specific jobs. Maximum Suction Depth. There are three factors affecting the “cleaning radius” of a pond vac: cord length, hose length and maximum suction depth. The maximum depth is not the same as the hose length, so make sure the vacuum is capable of cleaning the bottom of your pond. If you want the vacuum to dump the cleaned material far away from the pond, the length of the discharge hose is also important. As for its effectiveness, the vacuum was efficient in collecting a large amount of debris (as seen from the filter bag) as well as small waste, so it appears to work really well. Don’t get me wrong, it does require a bit of work with the arms, but this certainly pays off. The pond feels cleaner and looks like it too, and whilst the bottom of the pond isn’t very visible, the smaller debris collected in the filter bag indicates that it’s a lot cleaner than before. Once the whole pond had been vacuumed, you could really tell the difference. The biggest difference between the Pondomatic and the more expensive PondoVac is that this is a single-chamber model. Unlike a double-chamber pond vacuum, it needs to continuously switch between suction and discarge. This increases the time taken to clean – especially large areas.

Oase Pondovac 4 Pond Vacuum Instruction Manual

All you need to do is connect it to a hose, and once it was connected, it worked great. Even though it’s not manual you could still feel the pressure, and it reassured me when the filter bag was full of large bits of debris. 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. The highly popular PondoVac 4 from Oase has been further improved and now features robust aluminium suction tubes for increased strength and durability. Flush the inner tank. This is the container that sits inside the main vacuum. The inner tank can also be removed from the main vacuum/compartment for easier cleaning. Now includes roller nozzle, string algae nozzle,wide area nozzle, brush and adjustable floor nozzle.
