| Vortex Maintenance
What kind of maintenance clearances is required for incorporating a vortex as the first settlement chamber for bottom drains? Aside from utilizing a direct flush valve to the drain to get rid of heavies, is there anything else associated with the maintenance of a vortex? Like Tom C, I have planned a deck around my pond and my filtration equipment is on another lower pad below deck. I will plan maintenance access via large hatchways to access vortexes but am I missing anything here? Thanks much.
Also would like to know which is a better set-up as a secondary solids separator. To have two 48" Vortex chambers in sequence leading to the pump and than biological filtration. Or, to have a 48" vortex chamber that leads to a micro-seive assembly which then leads to the pump and than biological filtration. Any successes or failures? Aloha. |
