![]() I started digging a square-ish dish shaped pond 35'x35' in the line of the creek about 50yards from the big pond. As soon as I can get gutters on that water will go into the pond too. We built a new house and dump our open loop geo thermal into the pond. In the spring and wet times it overflows to create a small creek. We are on 10 acres in MN we have a man made pond with a mostly clay bottom, cattails and arrowhead plants, built by the previous owner for the wetland bank. She just had to power through the silt.I need help in designing a swimming pond, this is what I have, think so far. ![]() My wife got stuck in our marina at los tide last time we were out. Unfortunately that much flow doesn’t happen where we are at. ![]() If you have good flow I know a lot of guys that just take an outboard out there and blow it into the flow. DONT GET CAUGHT. We are all dealing with it all over the delta. Probably pretty sweet for bulking out an area, but inable to get into corners and underneath docks. When looking into this a while back, I remember coming across this thing. Piranha pumps seems to have a pretty cool, and cost effective, rig to do the bulk work and Y attachment to do yearly maintenance after that. I estimate about 750 cubic yards of sediment to get back into operating shape and then a yearly once over after that.Īnyone have any experience using one of these or had success with another product? ![]() Thankfully we are the second house from the opening and would only have to dredge about 300 linear yards. We have 30+ homeowners on the island and getting them to all agree to do hire someone to do it commercially every 10 years or so is like pulling out your hair especially since a lot of them don’t use the back slough and therefore don’t see the value. Probably around +3x of sediment, which makes it pretty much unusable except for a really high tide. ![]() Our back slough has filled in pretty bad over the last three years. ![]()
