2024 Oase PondoVac Rental Program
RENTING A POND VACUUM IS THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO KEEP YOUR POND CLEAN ALL YEAR ROUND.
Below you can find out about the 3 Oase PondoVac options we have for rent. Depending upon the job at hand rentals can be for a day, 3 days or up to one week so you have the time you need to clean your pond.
PondoVac 3
The PondoVac 3 conveniently and effectively removes sediment from the bottom of the pond such as sludge and plant residues with up to 4000 l suction capacity per hour. Its patented dual-chamber system enables continuous suction without interruptions – not only in garden ponds, pools and swimming ponds but also in the home as a wet vacuum cleaner. The 4 m long suction hose and an additional suction hose extension ensure a long range. This means that it can easily reach suction depths of up to 2.1 m.
1 day 24hrs - $ 24.98
3 days 72hrs - $59.98
1 week 168hrs - $120.98
PondoVac 4
The PondoVac 4 can vacuum up to 5000 l per hour without interruption. It can be used continuously and powerfully in garden ponds, pools and swimming ponds, and as a wet vacuum in the home. This is made possible by the patented dual-chamber system, which allows the vacuum to be used whilst the container is being emptied. A transparent pipe allows convenient flow control; the carrying handle, transport rollers and suction pipe holder also allow easy handling. A wide range of attachments, from surface nozzle to brush nozzle, are available for suction depths of up to 2.4 m. Suction capacity can be adjusted via a manual control unit and clogged nozzles can be back-flushed.
1 day 24hrs - $40.98
3 days 72hrs - $99.98
1 week 168hrs - $199.98 (free delivery& pickup)
PondoVac 5
With 8000 l suction capacity per hour, the PondoVac 5 is a dynamic aid for cleaning garden ponds, pools and swimming ponds and can also be used as a wet vacuum in the home. Thanks to the integrated drainage pump, it can be used flexibly and can pump out dirty water even at different heights. Larger particles such as stones or leaves are retained conveniently by pre-filter bags, which can be emptied with ease via a zip fastener. The suction capacity can be adjusted conveniently during work via a manual control unit.
1 day 24hrs - $58.98
3 days 72hrs - $139.98
