Matala Pond Vacuum

The Matala Pond Vacuum II, also known as the "Muck Buster," easily vacuums algae, sludge, dead plants, leaves, and small pebbles up to 3/8" diameter. The Pond Vacuum II blows the competition out of the water with 4X the suction power of competitor products as demonstrated in suction tests, achieving an impressive 5' suction lift above water.

The Pond Vacuum II maintains suction for approximately 40 seconds while the tank fills, and once the tank is full, the motor turns off, draining for approximately 20 seconds before dumping the dirty water into the garden or a yard drain. Use the optional mesh bag to capture coarse debris before dumping the dirty water.

Suggestions:

• To increase suction time, open the yellow ring on the handle. Increase suction force by closing with your finger.
• Place the vacuum tank so that the drain out hose with the flapper valve is lower than the tank's bottom.
• To maximize suction time, choose the smallest vacuum head feasible for the job.
• Check the flapper valve at the end of the drain hose for clogs and smooth movement on a regular basis.
