How Continuous Operation Works:

The PondoVac 5's dual-pump system is a game-changer for pond cleaning. While the suction pump pulls debris and water into the tank, the integrated waste pump simultaneously discharges dirty water through the discharge hose. This means you can vacuum continuously without stopping—no waiting for fill-and-drain cycles. This makes cleaning much faster and more efficient, especially for larger ponds or heavy debris loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between the PondoVac 5 and the PondoVac Classic?
A: The PondoVac 5 features continuous operation with a dual-pump system—one pump vacuums while the other simultaneously discharges waste, so you never have to stop. The PondoVac Classic is a single-chamber vacuum that cycles between filling (20-40 seconds) and draining (20-30 seconds), requiring patience as it stops and starts. The PondoVac 5 is much faster and more efficient, especially for larger ponds or heavy cleaning jobs. It also has more powerful suction (2,100 GPH vs. 800 GPH), more professional attachments, and commercial-grade wheels for easier mobility.

Q: How much faster is continuous operation compared to a cycling vacuum?
A: Significantly faster! With continuous operation, you can clean without interruption—just move the suction tube around while the vacuum works non-stop. A cycling vacuum like the PondoVac Classic spends about half its time draining, so you're only actively cleaning about 50% of the time. The PondoVac 5's continuous operation means you're cleaning 100% of the time, potentially cutting your cleaning time in half or more. For a medium-sized pond, this could mean 15-20 minutes instead of 30-45 minutes.

Q: Can the PondoVac 5 handle gravel ponds and string algae?
A: Absolutely! The PondoVac 5 comes with specialized attachments specifically for these challenges. The Large Gravel Tool (blue) is designed to clean between rocks and gravel without sucking them up—it agitates debris while the suction pulls it away. The String Algae Nozzle (blue) is specifically designed to grab and remove stubborn string algae that other attachments might miss. Combined with the powerful 2,100 GPH suction, the PondoVac 5 excels at tackling tough cleaning jobs that would overwhelm smaller vacuums.
