5. Operating Instructions
The VEVOR Pond Vacuum Cleaner features a simple control switch for different modes of operation:
- Position O: Switched off.
- Position I: Continuous Dry Vacuum Use. For general household vacuuming, ensure the lid is securely covered to prevent air leakage affecting suction.
- Position II: Continuous Pond Vacuum Use (Intermittent Cycle). This mode is designed for pond and pool cleaning. The system operates in a 55-second cycle: 30 seconds of suction followed by 25 seconds of emptying. This cycle repeats automatically. When operating underwater, remove the cover and install the drain hose for proper discharge.
Select the appropriate nozzle for the task:
- Use the Floor Brush for general surface cleaning.
- The Round Brush is effective for larger debris.
- For stubborn bottom mud, utilize the Scraping Mud Brush.
- The Duckbill Suction Brush is ideal for reaching small seams and tight spaces.

- Hose and Nozzle Cleaning: Rinse all hoses and nozzles with clean water after use to prevent buildup of algae, mud, or other debris. Ensure they are free of blockages.
