creek water ran through pond ? - 04/30/09 04:40 AM
Hello,
I have a 1 acre pond that is very old and has quite a bit of sedimnet on the bottom. I would like to remove the sediment so my kids can swim in it without all the muck on the bottom. I looked into the bacteria stuff that eats the sediment but it looks like the verdict is still out on that stuff.
But, what about this product????? any first hand knowledge of this stuff? http://www.clean-flo.com/
I have a creek that runs no less than 400gpm that runs within 100 ft of the pond. SO, I ran a 5inch pipe from the creek to the backside of the pond and cleaned out the drains and, hopefully this will push some of the sediment out of the pond. Any thoughts? or any other opinoions on how to get rid of the sediment and what about aeration??? ( without renting a huge excavator) thanks.
BTW- the pond drains into this same creek a bit further down the stream.
