Help with OASE pondovac 3

I have an OASE pondovac 3 and have had very good results with it until about 1 month ago - I've had it for 3 seasons. Now mysteriously it seems to just loose a majority of it's suction. To the point where it won't suck up anything. Has anyone had a similar experience or know what I could do to fix this problem? I hate to spend all that money on a good vacuum only to have it last 3 seasons....but I really can't do without a vac in season. Fortunately I'll have all winter to get it working right again

Take a look at the rubber flaps inside the intake. Mine was doing the same thing and a rock had torn one of the flaps. I ordered some new ones and it was good as new.

I will check those flaps first thing tomorrow! I know that I've vacuumed up rocks so hopefully that is the cause. At least those are replaceable.
I love the pondovac vs the shop vac because my pond is 4 1/2' deep the shop vac just didn't have the power to pull up the debris from that depth.
