Akinosan: If I could dump all settlement multiple times per day, I would. I cannot. So, I dump settlement once per day, unless required to be away from home past 9pm or so...then just not up to doing it. On weekends, all mechanical filtration stages are cleaned, vortex is emptied and lines to vortex are opened to flush them. Amazing amount of stuff settles in all lines, so I try to flush all as best I can weekly. What I should do, but do not, is weekly discharge from an isolated drain line that goes direct from bottom drain to waste discharge on my bead filter. I simply forget it is there! But the stale water in that drain line is putrid, anaerobic water...smells sulphuric. It should be flushed regularly. Knowing that water is in contact with the pond water, even if only down in the drain, upsets me every time I realize I've forgotten it again.
