Kids love the pond, it is right near the house. The pond is roughly a triangle shape, so I’ll start at the swimming area point and work my way out over a handful of years. Perhaps later I’ll look at some sort of de-watering. I plan to do most of the work in spring/fall when we have excess water and just pump over the bank towards the woods. It has about a foot or so of loose muck/silt that I think will suck up pretty nicely. It is very, very solid probing with a measure stick, and is pretty consistently 8 feet deep all way around the pond. We live in an area with a lot of flat rock, you can find it in all the nearby creeks, and in our ditch by the road. I’ve been aerating (two bottom diffused) the past 5 years since we bought the property and using bacteria, it has cleaned up a lot. I’m guessing it won’t negatively impact the pump? Any difference between 1.5” vs 2” at the nozzle? From the nozzle, I’ll probably have a 3 to 6 foot 3” pvc pipe to a T joint or something with a 1 to 2 foot pvc capped with about ¾ inch holes drilled for a sort of vacuum end.ĭoes this setup sound feasible? Am I correct in reducing 3” to 1.5 or 2” to the nozzle. And then however long 3” hose I need to pump out over the pond bank. I’ll have a short 3” discharge hose from the pump that I’ll have to reduce to 1.5” or 2” to the suction nozzle. I’ll probably only need a few feet of 3” intake hose. So, I’ll have a 3” trash pump that I’ll put on my floating dock so it can move with me as needed.

Craistlist and FB marketplace didn’t seem to offer much better options. This trash pump seems to have enough power and is affordable. I’ve been reading through the forum, trying to piece together the information I need, with a lot coming from Driver Cody’s posts. I think I have the pump and nozzle set, looking for guidance on hosing sizes. TLDR: Looking to build a Gold/Muck dredge using Venturi effect.
