Ultimately the water will go back into the same pond after the DW is extracted. So, I can run the system and walk away (except for filling the trash pump with gas) Had to get the siphon and water mixer working first. The next step will be to design a catch for the DW while letting the water filter back into the pond (this will be straight forward).

There are systems like this on the market...but way too much $$$ for me to spend on them
