A method and apparatus for cleaning cooling tower basins. The apparatus includes a cleaning tool carrying a nozzle for picking up sludge within the basin, and a siphon for providing continuous suction on the cleaning tool. The pipe making up the siphon is formed into a trap to prevent entry of air into the system on temporary cessation of siphon action. The down side of the siphon may empty into a receiving tank; and, a pump can remove material from the receiving tank and lower the pressure to enhance operation of the siphon. With such enhancement, the siphon can lift material from a basin and discharge the material on a level above the level of the water in the basin. The nozzle has openings in all faces to suck in adjacent water and pick up contaminants suspended in the water adjacent to the nozzle.
