It sucks up the muck into a tiny filter bag. Doesn't work especially well. Mine developed a leak into the battery compartment and I threw it out in less than a year.

It will soak through. I used it in walkways between raised beds in my garden, and it doesn't pool. I believe it will do what you're needing.

I don't know I use it my 18 wheeler for light clean up of both wet and dry. For my purpose it works very well.

I use it on either and it works fine but the dirty water I used it on was not a thick muddy mix just dirty. works very well.

may want to be careful of what river/creeks you might use it on. Small pebbles and smooth rocks aren't a problem, but if you continuously use it on a river/creek with jagged rocks, you'll end up tearing through the rubber. Plug you run a very high risk of losing the fin on the bottom. Better to use it on a lake without any chance of really rubbing it along the bottom - not really a river/creek kayak

I use it on a combination of pavement and dirt/pine needles/grass. You need more muscle in the dirt but the tires are plenty big enough and easy to manuver. I would expect it to work in grass just fine. Be prepared to use more strength though. My boat is 3500 lbs as a reference. 20 ft open bow fiberglass.

i think it will not work because the pond water will dilute it and make it useless and it will be bad for the aquatic life ,,

Sure. This may be obvious but you simply want to avoid sucking dirt, sand, leaves, or whatever junk may be in a creek, into the pump. If you can avoid that then it's no problem.If the creek has a strong current you may need to anchor or weight your pump.

It will work but you probably wanna go with bigger than 2 inches hose.itsucks plain water very slow so its not going to work very good with muddy water

Depends on the river. If the water is deep and no sharp rocks or very shallow area's then yes. This got shredded after 2 runs with me......

It will work fine, but because it uses a water hose to create the vacuum effect, you might have to remove some water from your pond after you vacuum.

I don't know for sure... but I don't think it will matter. Once you fill will water it should be fine. You have to set up the time table for the backwash. I would think if your using for a camp.... you would only plug in it when your there. You might want to write the manufactory

Yes. If you fill it full of dirt it needs thorough soaking nearly every 3 days depending on your climate. Ibwas surprised how much watering it took and I live in northern Minnesota--hardly a hot climate!

I use it under much more extreme conditions. In the rain with dirty/rocky soil and with extra hose attached to the end. I would say definitely it would work for your fish tank. My only caution would be to make sure it doesn't suck up tiny rocks on the bottom. I know I have some debris in mine and its running harder because of it BUT when this one goes I will buy another the next day. It's a great little pump.

Yes. I use mine around my pond in my backyard and in a flower bed in my front yard.
