Pond, not pool. And vacuum cleaner not pump.

Mine is a pond, just 3,000 gals, and the pump is a vacuum cleaner as used in
swimming pools because I don't know of any other type that works properly.
What exactly did you mean didn't work? Link?

Mine works well - but it has no container, ie the detritus is pumped
directly onto my selected border. Good for the border - and much easier
to move around the pond without having to tow the container with me
(had one of those and I kept a) pulling it into the pond and b)
emptying the container ad nauseam.
However, cleaning ponds is vanity. Fish like murky ponds.
