Automatic De-Silter for our Water Supply
Every time it rains heavily, our water collection system silts up badly,
and because our stream floods, we can't get up to the weir easily to
clear the silt! (So when there's lots of water, we have NONE!)
So here's a diagram of the de-silting system I built. It uses the
OVERFLOW from the settling tank to activate the De-Silting process.
(And since silting only happens when the settling tank overflows
in heavy rain, that's just fine...)
There will be a photo here when I remember to take my camera up with me
next time I go up to the weir.
