If your clay is in suspension, I doubt that a settling chamber will help,
at
least not the one that I'm considering. The basic idea of mine will be
running the water through all the time, but hopefully the larger and
heavier
particles won't be going through the pump. Then, once the water is in the
inflatable pool, I'll leave it to settle out over a few days and then
carefully siphon the water back into the pond or perhaps pump it up to the
filter being careful not to disturb the bottom.

Overtime, my clay has fallen to the bottom and mostly stays there until the
fish or I get in there and stir it up. I have also gotten some out with
cleanings here and there, but what I am looking for is a method to vacu-suck
a large amount from the bottom, or I'll just wait.
