As pond keepers we all hate leaves falling in the pond. It might look nice but it can lead to a build up of sludge and lots more algae growth next year. Here at Bradshaws, we have a range of products to help you deal with the leaves, whatever your budget.

Vacuums

We’ve got 3 different types of pond vacuum to help you keep your pond clean; in-pond, electric pond-side and hose powered.

The Blagdon Pond Monsta (from £129.99) is an in-pond vacuum which has been very popular so far this year. It gives continuous suction and is up to 4 times faster than a standard pond vacuum.

The Oase Pondovac Start (£99.99) is a great quality pond-side vacuum. It collects the sludge in a tank, automatically empties when full and can remove solids of up to 10mm.

We've also got the Tornado hose powered pondvac for only £19.99

Skimmers

Skimmers are a great way to keep your pond surface clear with next to no effort; saving you time. Skimmers sit level on the surface of your pond and pull in water, meaning that the leaves get sucked in as well. Any debris ends up in a collection basket that’s easy to empty.

The Oase Swimskim (£99.99) has a built in pump and also includes a device to add oxygen to your water.

Budget Ideas

If you’re on a tight budget, but still need to keep your pond free of leaves, why not try one of our less expensive options?

Blagdon Pond Nets start at just £4.99. They are available in clear or black and will keep your pond leaf-free.

Our Pond Grabbers (£14.99) are an easy way to remove floating debris from your pond

Fish Food

When the temperature is cooler, the metabolism of your fish slows down, meaning they need easily digestible food like wheatgerm.
Bradshaws Wheatgerm Pellets are fantastic value and will keep your fish going throughout the cooler months. Why not take advantage of our Super Saver Offer by buying three 6kg bags (£31.99 each) and only paying for two?
