Function
A multi-functional pond vacuum cleaner with two modes, one for vacuuming and one for pond cleaning. Constant suction is used for vacuuming dirt around the house and in the garden. This requires a dust filter (Art. 06090030), which is not included. For removing sludge and dirt from the pond, an interval suction is used, the dirt is vacuumed up together with the pond water (is also a water change). The water drains away via the discharge hose, which you can use to water the plants. The sludge, which you can use as organic fertiliser, is collected in the dirt collection bag.
