My Pond Vac keeps blocking up, what should I do?
• A. If you have Blanketweed it is better to try to pull most of this out in big clumps before beginning. You can remove a lot of Blanketweed by twisting a stick or cane into the weed as it sits on the pond sides. The pond vac is designed to pick up stones and debris particles up to 8mm. Using the open nozzle will allow larger particles to pass through. The stones shouldn’t go into the black chamber but they can build up. Remove the impellor chamber, shake it and the stones should drop out. Check the hose adaptor by removing the viewing chamber and shake out as stones can sometimes get lodged here. • Q. My Saturn Booster is continually in bypass mode, i.e. the red valve has risen up and allows water to go back into the pond – what should I do? A. If this happens there is a possible blockage downstream of the Booster. The filter and hose may be too small or the pump may be too powerful for the Booster. The maximum flow rate for the Booster is 8000 LPH. • Q. Do I leave my pump and filter
