Vertical turbine pumps take suction from open ponds and lakes with 1/2" mesh
screen.

Silt and other vegetation is common. Pendent heads on return bends are
required. Inspections and flushing will be required.

Particulates will settle to the bottom of the tanks. How to remove excess.

I don't know how to establish particulate size.

More important may be how much mud is coming in.

Understand... I think I am going to research the standard for potable water
and give him that. Thanks.

Guess I was thinking since the owner asked the question, it may not be
microns. Also I was considering the fact that potable and process water
flows a lot more than ours..

My thinking is that we are talking in microns so any water used is going to
have particulates at some level?

What happens when those "smallest" particles settle together, then travel
"En-Masse"

We have a sprinkler and oscillating water monitor nozzle system that is
going to be fed from tanks and pumps. The owner is going to be filling the
tanks with "process water" used at this industrial mine site and has asked
us to provide a specification telling him what the largest particulate
acceptable would be in the water. I have searched and can't find anything
that addresses this. Seems like whatever the standard for potable water is
should be fine but I don't know what that is. Anyone know off the top of
your head? Thanks.
