Hi, if we will say "vacuum head", can this be understood by everybody as "for swimming pool device"?

for swimming pool device--for cleaning (vacuum head)?

Answer
No - I think the term is "automatic pool cleaner."

Does anybody know of some sort of inexpensive siphon filtering device to clean my horse's water trough?

My horse's water trough gets dirt in it often and settles on the bottom and its such a hassle to empty it out all the time and just get the dirt out or trying to get the dirt out with a net. I was wondering if there are any kind of devices that kind of act like a vacuum that can just suck up the dirt through a tube or something and cleans up the dirt. I guess kind of like an automatic pool cleaner. It would be nice if it could be inexpensive whatever it is. If anyone has any ideas please help me . Thank you!

Answer
Four suggestions:

1. From the kitchen gadgets section, get one of those very close mesh strainers - they come in all sizes. You dip it in, fish out the debris, and let the water run out.

2. Aquarium supplies - a fine mesh fish net. Same process.

3. Car supplies - they have inexpensive siphons for getting gas out of gas tanks. Use it to siphon out the dirt.

4. Any flexible hosing will also work. Get about a 4 to 6 foot piece, put one end in the bottom of the tank. Suck on the other end until the water comes about 3/4 of the way (Clear hose is best! available at hardware store) then quickly put that end on the ground. Gravity will siphon out as much water and debris as you need to.

These are all really inexpensive things that can help do the job. Good Luck!
