I'm investigating the feasibility of using an intake bay instead of a skimmer on my pond design. I have watched some videos and I like they way the look and function but I haven't been about to find the info needed to design one to my needs. Can anyone help me find the following information?
1. What is the ideal ratio of pond surface area to flow rate into the bay?
2. Once flow rate is determined how is inlet channel width and depth determined?
3. What is the ideal ratio of bay surface to flow rate?
4. If I'm using gravel over aquablocks in the bay, what depth of gravel and what size gravel? I'm assuming this would be much shallower than a bog filter and only larger gravel would be used.
Thanks
