Yes. It was a 301 Subaru. 9HP. It had a large, maybe 8" across, intake trash filter. The intake was 2 15" hoses. I keep a roll of shrink wrap plastic and always wrap connections just to make sure. It was big enough to allow a lot of stuff into the water line but it did get clogged with leaves some. I spent most of my time pushing muck to it and pulling leaves, pinecones, etc. off of the intake. I used a stick for this initially but, realized that it wasn't going to suck my hand into it, and ended up using my hand. Maybe that was dumb/dangerous but I didn't have any problems.

It never seemed to bog with the muck. Matter of fact I could cover the intake in muck and it would suck it down.

Below my pond is a small settling area in the woods and drainage creek. The settling area is now almost pure muck. During some big rains I'll start to drain it.
