Waste mater in suspension.

Post by Russ Little Pond »

Am I right in thinking that with good water current and turnover that waste matter in suspension is easier to remove ?

Russ,

In a word............. yes.

With the advent of aerated bottom drains, it has been seen that the air current first lifts the suspended matter to the surface, then pushes it outwards towards the edges of the pond. From there it falls to the floor, where it is then drawn into the bottom drain and off to the filter. Simples. :D
