Default Settling chamber plans

I know, but won't the solids hurt the pump if I put it in the pond?

the VF will/can use the solids.

starting the flow and/or keeping it will be hard.

the pipe into barrel must be short so solids can
actually settle and put a 90o elbow on the pipe
end to discharge sideways.
