Oase Pondovac 4 Pond Vacuum

Product Information

The Oase Pondovac 4 is a great piece of equipment to have to remove water and waste from your pond. The latest addition to the Oase Pondovac range, it has 20% more power than the Pondovac 3 and provides a stress-free way of removing sludge, waste, debris and rotting vegetation. The attached wheels allow you to easily maneuver the pump around your garden. 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. The Oase Pondovac 4 is capable of vacuuming down to depths of 2.4 metres. Also the Oase Pondovac 4 achieves non-stop cleaning avoiding annoying stop/start container emptying, like some of its inferior competitors and the old Pondovac 2.

Aside from how easy it is to use, we like that the AquaVac doesn’t require fitting a hose pipe or any electricity. It’s reasonably effective at cleaning up sludge and smaller debris, so it can greatly speed up the process of cleaning a small pond. The excellent Oase Pondovac 4 is a top of the range pond vacuum, easy to use and ideal for large and small ponds. The improved Oase Pondovac 4 is now even better and more reliable. Now includes roller nozzle, string algae nozzle,wide area nozzle, brush and adjustable floor nozzle. Large diameter casters and generous handle ensure that the Pondovac can be easily moved around the garden. Everything is under control thanks to torsion-resistant aluminium suction tube. You can exert more pressure, especially when using the brush nozzles.Mobility. Just like wet and dry cleaners, a pond vacuum can be heavy – especially when filled with debris and water. If you’re getting a vac with a large capacity, make sure it has wheels so you can move it without lifting.

Make sure cables are where people are less liable to trip over them, which should also protect the cabling from damage. Vacuum non-stop thanks to the patented two-chamber system - simultaneous vacuuming and emptying of the tank. Maximum suction depth of 2.4 m thanks to high-performance 1,700 W motor with optimised blade geometry Type of Vac. There are two main types: hand-pumped and motorised. Hand-pumped pond vacuums are great for removing silt and debris from very small ponds, and they are much cheaper than motorised alternatives. Motorised pond vacuums, on the other hand, use electrical power to pump dirty water and debris. They are expensive, but much more effective at removing silt, debris and sludge. For most ponds, a motorised vac is required – but you may want to consider a hand-pump for small jobs. Deeper ponds require a motorised vac.Our previous options have been manual pond vacuums, which are definitely more powerful and better for large ponds, but we can’t forget handpump vacuums, can we? They’re perfect for smaller ponds when a vacuum might just be a bit too much, so they deserve to be on the list. There’re plenty of options on the marketplace but most of them appear to be for the pool maintenance, although these are still perfectly applicable to ponds. A high-quality pond vacuum is a near-essential tool if you want to keep water clear and healthy. Owning a powerful pond vac, rather than renting, also means you can manage debris in your pond throughout the year – plus you’ll save money in the long-run. Who should buy this model instead of the PondoVac though? If you’re not sure whether the more expensive model is worth the money, we recommend choosing it for bigger ponds. The double-chamber system and more powerful motor mean it can clean large amounts of sludge and debris faster. With that said, the cheaper Pondomatic can still do the job – it just takes a bit longer.

The Oase Pondovac 4 also comes with a number of parts to make cleaning your pond even easier. A see-through attachment allows you to see what is being removed from the pond and a selection of tools can be added to the end of the attachments to offer effective cleaning. How to clean your Pondovac 4 Since manual vacuums are expensive, they should have a motor of at least 1000 watts. This is enough suction power to make sure you get the job done, but the more powerful the motor, the smaller bits of debris will be collected. Approximately what water surface area would you consider a small pond to have ??I am just trying to get your interpretation of small and large ponds. Even if you would prefer to use it portably, it does a good job at collecting debris. Its filter bag is slightly smaller than I expected, but since this is only used for smaller ponds, 2 or 3 full bags is all you would really end up with, so it’s not that much of a pain. The filter bag is made from fine mesh too, so it actually does a decent job at collecting smaller particles.

Q & A

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. One of the best features of the PondoVac is the two-chamber system. This allows you to vacuum continuously, as the when the first tank is full the machine switches to the second. The switch can take a couple of seconds, but this is a small price to pay for continuous vacuuming – and can make cleaning large ponds much faster. There’s also a suction control option, which is handy when you don’t want full power.
