The Pond Hippo floats on the surface of the pond, only 22" of water is needed, gently drawing in floating weeds, algae and debris. The Pond Hippo's powerful motor can handle up to 2" solids and has no trouble with bottle caps, spoons, straws, acorns, sticks, duckweed, hydrilla, watermeal, water lettuce or other floating material.

The Pond Hippo removes the weeds and debris from the water and deposits them on shore in a catch container. This container has a series of sieves that separate the weed /debris from the water, allowing the water to flow freely back into the pond while the weed and debris stay in the container.

Using 115 volt electricity the Pond Hippo pumps up to 8000 gallons per hour. The Pond Hippo can be used as a temporary or permanent installation and is virtually maintenance free.

The uniqueness of the Pond Hippo is accented by its hippo head cover. Produced by a local Tampa bay artist, the fiberglass hippo head has several purposes, including a large debris deflector, wildlife protector and aesthetics for permanent installations. Custom painting is available.
