Why You Need It
Traditional vacuum heads often get stuck or pull up handfuls of stone, which can clog your vacuum and ruin your pond’s look. The Matala Gravel Head features a specialized internal design that allows water and sludge to pass through while the weight and size of the gravel keep it on the pond floor. It’s the difference between a surface-level clean and a healthy, muck-free pond ecosystem.
Recommended Pairings
-
Pond Vacuums: For the ultimate cleaning experience, pair this head with the Matala Power Cyclone Pond Vacuum.
-
Bacteria Treatments: After vacuuming, add Muck & Sludge Treatment to help break down any remaining organics trapped deep in the rocks.
