hozelock Pond Vac review 2:32
Hello guys and gals in this video I will be adding another dose of biobalance to raise my kH and stabilize my pH.
Also I will be testing my new pond vac the "Hozelock Pond Vac*
and giving a bit of a review
Thanks for watching 👍
Great video mate I've just bought one from bq £120 I was un decided as to which one to buy but you made my mind up keep up the great videos 📹👍
Cheers mate thanks for watching. I love mine no tank to keep emptying makes life a lot easier 👌👍
I used the Hozelock vac for quite a few years
Ideal for emptying waste straight into garden flower beds
Defo about the food
I feed mine on a quality Japanese food
I switched temp to something not as good and the waste my fish produced was much greater
Evolution Aqua are great all round products
That’s a nice pond 👍👍👍
Thanks mate yeah I love mine I wouldn't be without it. I'm trying aqua source all season with garlic atm the ingredients look really good so hopefully it doesn't create to much waste 🤞🤞
Another excellent video mate
Thanks mate 👍
Sweet you have been busy bud cracking new Hoover 👍🏻
Thanks mate, yeah be busy but had some help off er indoors 😉👍
@@progressivepondkeeping that's all that matters bud getting them out to help lol
Great review.Top work.5 star .
Thanks 👌🏼👍🏼
A STAR vid mate encorages people to get into the hobby at a reasonably price no need to sp[end thousands
Thanks mate. I forgot to mention I got it for £60 used so I'm happy 👍
I have the same pond vac, I can't really fault mine for the price it's great 😁
Nice and cheap 👌👍
Thank for the glasses 😁👍
😂👍
Hello Leon mate hope all is well buddy! You still loving the hose lock vacuum! If you come back with a yes I’m guna get one lol. I was tempted on the other one like you had. pondtec I think but after you said the issues you had it’s put me off!
Hello mate yeah still love it and it dose everything I need it to
@@progressivepondkeeping cheers Leon mate il be getting one today :)
@@charles29cc awesome mate they are perfect for getting the bits up they aren't as powerful as a traditional vac but perfect for me
@@progressivepondkeeping funny you should say that prior to using this one I used to syphon the bottom with a 2inch pipe and flexi pipe but problem with it it emptied the pond so fast it was like a rush against it but does seem to suck up more then the hozelock but I am a fan of the hozelock like you say it does the job and probably quicker then the chamber ones anyway, might have to join a gym again though it ain’t light is it 😂
🤣🤣👌
Hi M8 new member today thanks for the video of the pond vac, need to get one for my pond but probably be next year, as for the Peach and Pineapple food for the fish that’s what I’ve been feeding mine on this season but only today decided to stop using this product I’m finding it makes my pond dirty cloudy and staining the liner so I’m going back to my old fish food I used in the past.
Hello m8 welcome, yes I had the same problem, I think it's the dye the add to the food . Glad the pond vac video was of interest. 👍
Hi you can see my setup on Borden-Koi I have not got a blog yet but thinking about setting up one only just getting into this hobby big time now!
Yes mate I'm the same getting into big time , it would be good to see a blog I love to see people ponds
Really enjoyed the video only got a small pond how much was the vac and did you get much waist pipe with it cheers mike
I got mine second hand but I'm sure it's comes with 3 meters of hose new . I think you can get them for around a £100 new or about £60 ish used . Thanks for watching 👌👍
Great video and nice vacuum, might get one myself. Do you know what size the waste hose is? as I would need to extend it as my drain is around 7 metres from one of my ponds.
Hello mate the hose size is 25mm. You can get a 10 meter length of 25mm pipe for around £10 that would sort you out.hope this helps 👍
Hi Mate I have just bought some of that food my koi love it
Wayne from Cheltenham were are you !
Hello m8 yes mine can't get enough of it. I'm in Dudley
Bicarbonate soda (Arn & Hammer) to boost kh is so cheap at costco. 6 x 500g for 5 bucks.
Yes I've only just realized . I will use that when this bags empty. Thanks for the tip 👍
Btw nice pond vac, crap wooosh straight out of the system is best. Roof is great idea.
Thanks mate 😊👍
Hey bud how is the premier pellets from evolution aqua looking at getting some for my koi
Hello mate they were quite good if I remember correctly
I don't use them anymore I feed saki hikari now 👍
How’s the vacuum keeping up after the 1st year 👍 was looking to purchase but getting mixed reviews so unsure if to buy it
I wouldn't be with out it I love it so simple to use dose everything I need it to 👍
start watching the review at 6:22 it's dragged out till then
👍🏼
Mate your waters looking clear my pond looks like its waiting for you to put the milk in. Are you on hard or soft water up there
I think it's hard not 100% though tbh the numbers straight from the tap fluctuate.
Have a look at your water board online mate that should tell you. it gives you the point then as to what way you want to fight if you are hard water then rain lowers the ph kh so you want a buffer to raze it when it drops. soft water you are always trying to raze it
Ok mate brilliant thanks for the info. It's fine again now just that crazy rain I think. 👍
where to buy a spare black pipe?
You can get it from any pond shop or eBay but if you need some in a hurry screwfix sell it
What is the name of the plant you have growing across the surface. I can identify the lily and iris, but have no idea what the other one is
Hello mate, it's called bog bean 👍
Look on eBay for your bi carb, dirt cheap, pond vacs doing a good job.
Thanks mate, yes I think when this bag is empty I will get a bag off eBay 👍
How much is it?
Hello mate you can get them new for around £110 or used about £60
I will comment later once I've done the pond mine is only 8ft by 3 ft deep
Brilliant mate it should work a treat 👌👍
Just finished wow what a machine build quality is spot on it removes sludge no problem what so ever 👌for £120 you get a lot of machine well happy with it even removes the gravel that the fish have removed from the plant tubs highly recommended to any pond keeper
Awesome mate glad it's worked well for you 👌👍
What's the best hose type to get for the waste to flow out of?
25mm flexible hose is what need for this vacuum 👍
Iv found the EA food really good mate. I use the growth one while they're only one ish years old. Waste of time feeding cheap food u don't put diesel into a ferrari so to speak 👍
Yes mate I'm seeing the difference already. 👌👍
@@progressivepondkeeping better growth less waste yessss living the dream hehe
@@richd-koi 💯💪💪
Try it without the center filter ,I don't have that in my hoover, LoLL
I was literally just wondering if that filter was for dry use, I'll give it a try without and let you know 🤣 Thanks 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping I was having the same problem so I took it out and that was it like you say it's for dry use
@@matt281075 yes mate it works perfectly fine now 😜👍
Any chance of an update review now you have had it a while ?
Yeah mate no problem. I've got to vac out again tomorrow so I'll record it 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping sweet,thanks mate,I look forward to it
Cheers mate 👍
Horrible videowork!!
We are seasick of all those much to quick moves
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it if you need to throw up in the future you know where to come
