Isn't that one of the biggest benefits of the siphons though? Removing bottom water??

Yes it is, but in your example that doesn't apply.

Scott, that is my main question and I am thinking you answered it. Are you saying with the water fully mixed a siphon pipe will not remove anymore nutrients than a spillway??

I am trying to remove nutrients from my lake. If installing a siphon would speed up that process I would consider it. It would only really make an impact for about a month during the run off. My water stays fully mixed so during the run off I am sending mixed water over the spillway.


That is my thought but the only way to know for sure is to take water samples at the top and bottom of the water column and send them out to be analyzed for nutrients.
