Vertical turbine pumps take suction from open ponds and lakes with 1/2" mesh screen.
Silt and other vegetation is common. Pendent heads on return bends are required. Inspections and flushing will be required. Particulates will settle to the bottom of the tanks. How to remove excess. I don't know how to establish particulate size. More important may be how much mud is coming in.

Also I was considering the fact that potable and process water flows a lot more than ours..

The owner is going to be filling the tanks with "process water" used at this industrial mine site and has asked us to provide a specification telling him what the largest particulate acceptable would be in the water. I have searched and can't find anything that addresses this. Seems like whatever the standard for potable water is should be fine but I don't know what that is. Anyone know off the top of your head? Thanks.
