My intake pond has become full of mud over the years, and starting to block the filter. The pond is about 2000 sq ft in size with a least a foot of mud on the bottom.
I have it mind to build an eductor pump similar to this gizmo: http://www.techdivetools.com/dig/dredges.html The pic shows a 4" suction pipe, what looks to be about a 1" jet pipe and suggests a 500 gpm pump at 40psi. I have a 50hp Navy surplus firefighting pump that delivers several thousand gpm at 150psi and was considering what might be done to scale up the design but still have it be operable by a couple of guys. Your thoughts and insights would be greatly appreciated. --Douglas [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
