OK gang, time to be McGyver as someone suggested in another thread. I am
getting this damn clay out of my pond this month. I plan to take a couple of
garbage cans and use them as settling chambers.

I am looking for some opinions on design. As this is a temporary filter just
for the clay, I am looking to do it cheap. I have two old garbage cans that
I can destroy.

My primary question now is how should the water flow? Up or down? I mean,
should I pump water into the bottom of the can, fill the can with filter
media, and have it overflow out the top or vice versa?

My suggestions: get a piece of pvc (minimun 2"), drill a
few holes at one end. Stand upright (holes at the bottom)
in garbage can filled with quilt batt or whatever. Pump
water into the the pvc and allow the water to overflow into
the pond. Hows that?
