We are cleaning aquaculture pond waste using a high-pressure eductor pump and a venturi. This creates a
nice suction to pull the sediment up from the ponds,
which are 5' deep, 100' long and 20' wide. The shear,
unfortunately, takes an easily-settleable sediment
and turns it into a chocolate...
Just wanted a reality check on a low-cost low-volume low-pressure formalin pump system we cobbled together using an ITT Flojet 1gpm @ 25psi chemical pump, with bypass shunts feeding back to the pump suction and to the formalin drum.
My thoughts were to start the pump with the drum shunt open...
