As good as it gets
Ordered Thursday for FOC 3-5 days delivery, arrived Saturday so that's the 1st good point. I have a 4.5 x 3 x 1m pond overstocked with various fish (the first year that we had them they were very productive!) surrounded by fruit trees, and relies on a pupmed filter that I clean out 3 times a year, so I knew that after 1 year since my last water change that there would be a lot of c**p at the bottom. Having previously caused a leak by scooping out the debris with a net I didn't want to go through the palaver of a new liner again. Having read some of the adverse comments about frequent blockages I thought that it was worth a try as I just wanted to remove all that lurking fish poo. Well yes, after 3 minutes it blocked with a small pebble, and then every so often with a bit of weed or harder fibrouse stuff. But, did it suck up all of the gunk? YES it did. Did I mind the occasional blockage (mainly weed) that took 2 mins each to clear? NO, not at all. Could I see the bottom of the pond? NO, but the clear part of the tube showed me when I needed to move the pump head. If you would prefer spending 3 days moving your fish to a temporary holding area, and doing a complete water change / clean then you don't need this vac. For me, this is much better than the ones that filter the water back into the pond, just suck all that nasty up and dispose on the flower beds. Summary: gets rid of the gunk, followed by a water replacement (no more than 1/3 of the pond at any one time), some lost time for the odd blockage (and this will reduce with more freequent usage), = I am more than pleased. One minor criticism, the discharge hose is on the short side, so you need to extend it using whatever piping you have available.

Needs an on/off switch
I've had this for a while. The main reason I brought is that you can keep using it without having to empty a container. Great for pumping out. However, you have to have fairly deep water to keep the whole unit submerged and it's fairly heavy to manipulate (for a woman). Having no on/off is a pain, when you suck up some chunky weed and bung it up or want to move to a different area. So I re-engineered and fitted an in/line waterproof on/off button on the cable. So much easier but probably not recommended by the manufacturer! The best thing is the toothed rubber head which works really well. Good and bad. Great for pumping out, but I've ended up using this to do a water change and pulling rubbish from the bottom and a pond hero sluge mucher with the hozelock toothed head for more defined cleaning.

good unit for fibreglass ponds
good unit for fibreglass ponds, i can only fault it on design, 1. unit has no on/off switch so if you are using on your own it's a problem (simple answer get a remote controlled plug and carry transmitter) 2. dirt etc is sucked through motor i small stone and unit siezes and you have to strip unit to remove (logic says if the makers were to make a small box attachment to the tools or motor and supplied a pre hoover bag to fit, foreign objects would not pass through, otherwise a good unit albeit a little clumbersome.

Great for the price
With the vacuum machine at the front, its a but weighty to use. Its a pity there's no on/off switch on the device, it has to be switched off at the plug. Great suction and did a great job, but if you remove the nozzle from the water, and return it, it doesn't continue to suck water, curiously enough. Nozzle must be submerged and the device switched off and back on. Easily assembled and disassembled to store neatly, taking up so little space. Overall, I'm very pleased with the job it did.

VERY DISAPPOINTING BY HOZELOCK'S USUAL STANDARDS
I have a 4,500 ltr semi-raised pond that had developed too much sludge at the bottom, so I decided a pond vac was in order and chose this because I have always found Hozelock stuff to be really durable and practical. It arrived quickly and comes dis-assembled in an extremely compact box but it was very straight forward to put it all together - ready to go in under 5 minutes. Once in use, with the heavy pump at the very end of a 5ft arm it is quite unwieldy. Additionally, the supplied hose is only about 2m long so you need to buy an extra length and it is a push-fit onto the base of the top handle where you align some grooves and lugs. Why they didn't go the extra mile and make that a twist lock I will never know because its uber annoying that once its wet, the push-fit connector comes apart if you move it too vigorously. First annoyance, there is no on/off switch on the item, so you either have to run a protected, switchable extension cord to the side of the pond or you end up legging it back to the power point to turn it off and your hands are wet !! .... very poor design. Suction is immediate and strong but it started to fail within 20 minutes. Being magentically driven, the impeller just stops rotating at the slightest sign of resistance. When I took it apart, I found a small fragment of white plastic had broken off the integral collar that aligns the impeller in its housing. After 2 or 3 more fails, I found more tiny bits of plastic and notced the impeller was now spinning with a noticeable wobble because the missing fragments were allowing too much lateral play in the impeller shaft. Eventually I gave up, took it apart, cleaned it, re-boxed it and sent it back. I now await my refund. Really disappointing from Hozelock - this is just a shabby peice of design from the lack of a cut off switch to the flimsy design of the impeller unit to the really poor hose connections.

silenzioso e molto potente se comprate un tubo aggiuntivo potete svuotare un laghetto senza problemi

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! I used it to clean my pond once. When I got it out to vacuum again one month later, it wouldn't turn on. Also, I purchased this from Amazon AU, yet it was sent with a Euro plug - WTF. The vacuum has no switch on the unit, so every time it clogged (which was often) I had to race back to the wall to turn it off.

Aufgrund der schlechten Bewertungen habe ich erst gezögert, dieses Produkt zu kaufen, aber es sind ja insgesamt nur zwei Bewertungen . Also habe ich mir noch die Bewertungen bei Amazon UK durchgelesen, auch dort beklagten sich einige, dass das Gerät schnell verstopft und keinen Ausschalter hat, es gab aber auch begeisterte Rezensionen. Nachdem ich mit dem Schlauchaufroller von Hozelock vor Jahren schon sehr gute Erfahrungen gemacht habe, wollte ich es wissen. Also selber ausprobieren. Ja, es gibt keinen Ausschalter. Aber ich finde das nicht gravierend. Einfach ein Outdoorverlängerungskabel über die Schulter gehängt und das Gerät angeschlossen. Fertig. Kann ich jederzeit ausstecken, da es "an der Frau" ist. Da muss ich nicht zwischen der Steckdose und dem Gerät hin- und hersausen. Die Anleitung ist gut verständlich und in mehreren Sprachen, darunter auch Deutsch. Der Stecker ist ein Stecker, einfach ein in Deutschland gebräuchlicher Stecker, da ich bei Amazon.de und nicht Aamazon UK gekauft habe. Dann die angeblich ständigen "Verstopfungen". Vorab: Ich habe einen Teichfolienboden, auf dem sich keine Steine befinden, aber viel verrottetes Grünzeug und Fischkot - klassischer Mulm. Das verursacht bei dem Gerät keine Verstopfung, wobei ich die offene Düse benutzte. Ich hatte es ungefähr zwei Stunden in Betrieb und war begeistert, als ich in dem klaren Verbindungsstück sehen konnte, wie das Wasser schwarz wurde, als der Mulm nur so durchrauschte, auch Blätter etc. Es funktionierte so einfach wie Staubsaugen. Manchmal musste ich mit dem Gerät etwas ruckeln, damit sich festgesetztes löst. Auch das war in den meisten Fällen ausreichend, einmal war der Abflussschlauch am Schlauchausgang verstopft. Blätter rausgezogen, fertig. Dafür habe ich das Gerät noch nicht mal abgeschaltet. Zweimal passierte es allerdings, dass ich tatsächlich den Sauger rausnehmen, öffnen und reinigen musste (was ganz einfach geht, aber wenn man es öfter machen müsste, wäre es tatsächlich zu aufwendig und würde nerven). Einmal war der Grund eine feststeckende Haselnuss - die kann er natürlich nicht zerkleinern bzw. ausspucken, beim anderen Mal hatte ich zu tief zwischen den Pflanzen herumgefuhrwerkt. Die Schneidemesser im Sauger kamen mit der Menge nicht mehr klar, Algen und Moos wickelten sich herum und stoppten die Arbeit. Schnell beseitigt, das war es aber auch schon. Ich hatte vorher einen Oase Pondovac Völlig nutzlos das Gerät, da es ständig stoppt und man wieder warten muss, bis man weiterarbeiten kann. Mit dem Hozelock kann ich ohne Unterbrechung arbeiten. In den zwei Stunden habe ich enorme Mengen an Schlamm und Mulm ins Beet abgesaugt, die Blumen freuen sich über den Dünger und von den Fischen im Teich wird bestimmt bald eine Dankesnote kommen ;-) Noch ein Tipp: Wenn sich einer der Aufsätze so stark festgesetzt hat, dass er sich nicht mehr ohne Gewalt lösen ließe, einfach eine kurze Zeit in heißes Wasser stellen, dann geht es ganz einfach.
