I don't see why not; however, it may take some time as you say your pond is large and I merely used it to transfer fuel from a riding mower to a can. I would recommend perhaps beginning with a wet/dry vac then as you near the bottom, then use this item.

I doubt iti purchased 4 of these as the base fits in a small pump that has been giving me troubleI used it to drain a small water pump in my basement and after using several times for 1 or 2 minutes it diedi have gone thru two of them, i contact the seller but never received a respose from them

This is for a small containers (like a 5 gallon water jug) not sure if it will handle a large body of water like a pond.

It would probably get clogged and take forever to drain. I would use a $35 1/2 HP electrical pump if you can.

I honestly don't know if it will or not. I use my pump to prime my vacuum then I drop my vacuum line outside the pool and use the siphon action to vacuum my pool so the pump works for my app but I also clean my pool differently and after I do clean mine I have to go back and add 50 or 60 gallons of water.

If you are talking about the pump I think it will work. This is a great product. I used a big rubbetmade bin to hold more water. I cut a hole in the lid and fed the tubing through the hole then added the pump. The lid kept bugs and debris out of the water.

it will probably work for holding the water in the pond. I used it for my basement to keep the water out and it started to lift from the pressure.

That should work as long as the bucket has holes in it so water can flow into it. A better technique is to use a skimmer that is connected to the input of the pump; that keeps leaves and other trash out of the pump. My only regret is that I didn't get a higher capacity pump. I am using it for a small waterfall and it is just not adequate.

I've used it in the bottom of my pond. Just soak it in a bucket first to wash the dust out of it .

A pump device would probably be the best option. I use a "First Need" water purification system when siphoning directly from a stream into a sterile, (non contaminated) water bottle or bag. The Sawyer mini I use in line with my camel back.

no, because the output end of the hose needs to be lower then the input side. you need an actual pump for a ground level pond.

It works great in my 5 gal. The other one I had took the water out too quickly. This gives you plenty of time to suck the bottom stuff up.

If any solid thing is vacuumed (like small stones, mud, algae, etc.) the flow will be stopped and the ball inside the siphon could be blocked. It's not the right tool to do something of similar.

A gravel siphon will work only for the gravel. Keep in mind there is a removable plate at the bottom as part of the internal under gravel filter that must be removed and cleaned. There is about a 1/4" gap under the plate and that area collects most of the junk.

Don't know if this item would be satisfactory for that, think you might want something larger. I used my rock fountain as an add on to my outside fish pond I actually draw water from the fish pond and it runs over the bottom back into the fish pond. Instead of it being self contained it is now part of the pond the water cascading over each level and back into the pond is awsome

it would suck the water out way too fast. I think you should buy a siphon with smaller diameter.

You should be able to. The siphoning part has a pretty low profile. The question would be how small your opening is I suppose.

I currently use this in my 3gal tank with colored stones at the bottom. It's a little difficult to get the siphon working because there's not that much space to perform the action to do so. I've goten it to work and it's nice, but it takes some work and you have to move quick, because once the water get so low it stops.

sorry, it just send by it's self. I have a 1000 gallon pond that is 2 feet deep. Again, it did not work.

You should be able to. It will help with the filtration process. Hope this helps answer your question. Happy ponding!!!!!
