BV, can't quit now, your just getting started!

I've been meaning to ask the group this for a while: Where is Rod Farlee?
I hope we didn't chase him away with too many water quality questions.

I seem to remember Rod posting one time about suspended clay in pond
water.
The clay could be precipitated out with alum, as I recall. Does this sound
familiar to anyone? I think that the hardness of the water had something
to
do with it's ability to hold clay in suspension also.

BV, do a seach for water, clay, suspension, alum, precipitate etc. and
maybe
you'll come up with something. Keep us posted.

Ahhh...here I know some things. Alum can be used as can Calcite. I have
tried Calcite with a little bit of a result but not much. The Calcite was
prefered because it would have less effect on pH. I have some articles I can
share on this, if anyone is interested. I just need to find them again.

I found googling with 'clay pond turbidity' to be great keywords.

BV.
