Pond Cleaning Pump (airlift)
If you have a swimming pond you don't want to miss this tool. It makes the regular cleaning so much easier and in the swimming season it clears the water after swimming without nearly any extra work.
And the best of it: It costs nearly nothing. The most expensive part is the airpump that, as a pond owner, you should have.
Airlifts can produce a great waterflow if you don't need to overcome greater height differences.
If i would make a pond again, i would do all filtering and waterflow with airlifts.
