Cleaned my goose pond & it was quick & easy squeezy !
Pulled the plug & walked away....

THEN~
It took all about under 10 minutes to clean!

Came back put the pump in to siphon the goo at the bottom (ran some hose water to help the pump)
& pumped it out & nice and clean,
So filling it is the longest part but also the easiest

Will put Fish zole in the water to treat any bacteria.

Here is the pump ~


CLEANED my Duck pond ~ in ground ~ It took 15 minutes to drain & clean !!!!! I actually timed it.

10 minutes to pump out 300 gallons
Hose rinse the goo 5 minutes ~ READY to fill


THE BEST PART IS ~ that 15 minutes ..... Was non physical labor, just working that hose....

SO now we are going to put the above ground pond in ground! It look better & it actually took less time to clean. So my experiment is done for me in vs out ? Definately like it in better

Hey Shannon how are the goslings doing? Did you get the Poms? We sold every last Pom this year, little stinkers were pulling and eatting the curly feathers off of the Sebbies. Can't have those curls being pulled off.

Guess I better start looking for a sump pump, lol. Don't know why I didn't think of that.Wonder if the bilge pump from the boat would work, probably not very fast though.
Love the doggie pics too!

I have to find a way to replicate your setup! I love it! Did you get the sump pump used?
