Pond Vacuum Cleaners, more commonly known as Pond Vacs are a very practical and useful bit of pond keeping equipment. They are perfect for carrying out the mucky job of removing excess pond sludge caused by decaying fish food, rotting vegetation, dead string algae (hair algae). Unlike a domestic vacuum cleaner a pond vacuum cleaner has a more important function than simply tidying. The removal of slime (sludge) and other pond debris matter is essential to the well being of your pond environment so as to prevent the build up of excess ammonia, sulphur dioxide and a general increase in the build up of unwanted bacterial colonies.
By removing the unwanted sludge from the bottom of your fish pond you are helping to ensure that the delicate balance of your outdoor fish pond or indoor fish pool is maintained. Remember that it is seldom a possibility to completely empty the pond and relocate the inhabitants (fish, toads etc) simply because you want to carry out an extensive spring clean. It is far simpler and just as effective to use a pond vac cleaner to keep your fish pond a healthy, eco friendly home for its inhabitants.
