Device works very well and handles a fair amount of small debris along with water. Large discharge hose is a little cumbersome to work with but it does work well. Attach your water hose, turn on faucet, and suction is created.

You have to constantly reposition yourself and the hoses to try and suction from the edges of the pond. How one would even use this without attaching some type of handle or other suction tube is beyond me.

A sea eagle 370 fits in a purse or a small backpack. Makes deploying our paddle boards so much easier. Used for inflating 2 twin air mattress for camping.

The only way it does work is when you plug it into electrical source. Only worked with batteries. Too weak for anything bigger than a kid's water toy.
