Since the iceberg has melted off my pond I am going to rent a pump and start my pond dredging project. I posted about this project in the past http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/rural-living/95113-dredging-pond.html
I was looking at pump rentals and now I'm not sure which pump would work the best. It looks like I have a choice between a 3" diaphragm pump, a 3", 4" or 6" trash pump.
I would think the 6" trash pump would be a bit too much to handle. So, I am down to a diaphragm pump or trash pump? and what size? I would say that the silt on the bottom of my pond is 98% silty mud/ clay mixture and 2% sticks and leaves. Any suggestions?
