It is like cleaning a pond out. The purpose is to have a better pond not one that will instant return to the state before clean out. If this is the case, then it is just wasted dollars.

I know you can not eliminate all silt/clay from coming into the pond but you can stop the majority of it.


That's absolutely correct and what Bill Cody said. I was simply disagreeing with Rex that water temps makes no difference in the settling ability of alum. I believe it does.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
