i hear you exactly, seperation and removal as quicly as possible..that maintains water quality, its a good aim and good you took such notice but i cant see why you cant separate from the bottom of the pond just the same as a vortex, then you should only need the one vortex for your finer stuff coupled with that k1 trip for light and suspended stuff. i guessing itll save good dollars and space.
maybe its that im not getting how exactly or how often the vortex puts away with the solids but surely you could do the same, i mean a 10000 gallon pool has better settlement ability than a vortex, theres a tapered bottom there for a start..you can add a collection and removal point there..you just need to work out how to get rid of the crap in the base on a regular basis and its rather easy with timers.
if you can get it into a vortex you can get it out of the water just the same from the bottom of a collection circle in the pond.
if your using a regular water exchange rate, incorportate that into your flushing out of the base.
twice a day should be fine enough but its nothing to time it so it flushes 5 times a day of small volumes of waste water. and do have your oils pulled from the top of the water. sorry bout this but i reckon form the main pond is the best spot to pull it from also. its where build up occur best..i use overflows to remove mine, i used to run the full fractionator and pump venturi, even ozone injection and that whole trip and while it works beautifully i found that for non extreme stocking rates theres no need for overkill in running costs when oils float and fall over with water fall.
