Fine Soot at bottom of pond

[fullcircle]

Thanks for your tips and advice, while cleaning out the rocks I ran a second smaller pump through pillow/quilt batting and it filtered some of the stuff out but it still seemed to miss the small soot that was suspended in the water which is why I thought I would look into a flocculant.

if the pillow stuffing didn't work for the real fine stuff i would do the whole house filter with the 5 micron filter. if you want they also make a 1 micron but i think that would clog up way to fast and your water probably doesn't need to be filtered down to one micron anyway.

you need to give the stuffing time to work, and you may have to do it many times over to truly get rid of the suspended crap.
