yesterday I went into the pond to take out the small pump and clean it…

it was very dirty, ugh… the process of getting in and out of the pond involves a chair, towel, watershoes, and this time, a bucket to put the bits that needed to be cleaned…

then I used the hose to clean everything… dirty business, lol…

after I put the pump back, it was working better, but not as well I was hoping for…

and I cleaned out the main pump while I was in there;-)… glad that job is done…
