What / where is "polyester batting"
It would be anywhere they carry fabric for sewing, usually. Cheapest place
probably Wally World. Use to come in big boxes for about $10. Often called
quilt batting, but since that can be made of different materials, you need
to look for 100% poly.
IME, if you have clear water, but muck on the bottom to remove, the wet
vac
is the best way to go. I have a 12 gallon canister, remove the pleated
filter. Put tube in water, turn on, and you'll be surprised (as I was) how
much muck you'll pull up in the 15-30 seconds it takes to fill the
canister.
Otherwise, the poly in the bucket that drains back into the pond works for
suspended solids throughout the water. Pump out thru poly, drain back
into
pond. ~ jan

Sheesh!
Now I understand!
(as in - "now" - too late!!)
Later - today or ? tomorrow I'll report on what
I did yesterday (friday!)
