Default Please Recommend Water & Sludge Pump

I'm looking for a pump to pump water & sludge (waste/dead bacteria) from my pond sump.

Appreciate if you could recommend a pump that's cost effective and preferably one that allows me to use a hose/attachment to point and suck a specfic area of the waste.

Thank you for reading and any suggestions.

there are many products out in the market. Its finding the balance of price against reliability and energy consumption

If electricity is not an issue, i heard good comments abt tsunami pump

Thank you for your recommendations.
Instead of a pond pump I wad actually thinking of getting a pump that allows me to pump water and some debris, something like a flood water pump.
Please keep suggestions coming.

If that's the case probably you can look for those used by construction companies. Not too sure about the cost though.

Yes that's probably what I'm looking for. Saw a brand like DAB in Nanyang that seems to do what I want but wonder if there are cheaper or better alternatives.

Some other way you may consider

1) http://www.warehouse-aquatics.co.uk/...d-vacuums.html

2) Find some contractor good enough to let you rent the pump.

3) Find some pond maintenance companies for rental of pond vacuum (not sure if possible) like the link below.
