Would this pickup dirt from a water fountain? I know it can do debris but I have like fine silt sand that I need to get out of the fountain

I think it would pick it up. The only question would be if the silt was so fine it might actually go through the filter back into the fountain. If this happened, you don't have to drain the water back into the fountain.. just hold all the water / silt in the catch tube and then drain it on the ground. Hope this helps.

It works well with dirt and mud, so I'd assume it also works for sand. No sand here.....

Yes. Depending on how much sand you need to pick up and how much time you have. I use this to pick up sand in my Hot tub brought in by grand children works great!

I bought the pond vac to remove dead "sludge" from the bottom of my water garden ponds. It will certainly pick up sand. I must admit though,that the vacuum power requires constant "tickling" to maintain the vacuum power (the placement of the vacuum has to be ideally below the pond level being vacuumed.

It should definitely work in dirt. That is where I used it to find something buried 4 inches under dirt and weeds. I don't know about water.

I would think not. It doesn't like wet things. It won't pick up fine dirt completely so sand is probably the same. You could try it if you get a return guarantee.

I don't have a cat, but I can't imagine it wouldn't. It picks up dirt, Cheerios, and any other random debris.

It runs off of suction, where as most in ground pools use "return" pressure as the source for the cleaner...so my answer would be "no".

I don't know about picking up sand. We use it in a small guest cottage and it works great there. We keep it in the cottage and it is small out of the way and available on demand. It works great and fits our needs very well.

Yes. Easily picks up any debris in water. Hold thumb over hole and push in the water. Release when debris is in front of the opening. Works great.

It works well for wet sweeping my patio. It picks up leaves and dirt very well. I have had it for around two years.

This is Steve at Aqua Products. Picking up dirt and debris is what this unit does best. It has a filter bag that can filter down to 2 microns so it also helps purify your pool water.

It can loosen the dirt, but it will not vacuum up the dirt. You would need a wet suction machine for that. Like a carpet cleaner.

It might vacuum and remove the sand too. I have small stones and they rise up(not get sucked out) sometimes when I vacuum.

sometimes little pieces of sand/dirt get into the filter pump. take it out of water, take hose off and blow into the pump itself to clear it. mine also stops at times because the kids play in my fountain and get small debris in it......good luck

It should. you might have to step on it with more weight, but it can handle about any kind of dirt (soft or hard) that Ive used it on.

It will pick it up, mine picked up a frog so im sure it will pick up pebbles, as far as it knocking more stuff it wont.
