We’re about to dig a new lagoon, which because of our soil type will have to be lined.
We bed on deep sand, one shed has a V sand channel leading to a shuttered concrete pit, that is roofed. Another shed also has a V channel, but this runs into a small receiver tank, where the plan is/was to pump into the other V channel, then to pit. We will also pump across collection yard , dispersal yard and dairy washings to the pit.
I’m well aware lined pits and sand are a no, no, but, as we get such good results on sand, I’m trying to get an affordable system together.
What piston pump makes and sizes are available, to transfer sand slurry?
Does anyone use a simple screen separator?
The plan here is to take the sandy liquid , with more sand free liquid slurry into a gravity separator, to get sand out, possibly to reuse and sand free separated slurry to pump to the lined lagoon.
The alternative is mats, mattresses, cubicle bedder, which I estimate will be pretty similar in cost, but for a poorer result.
Thoughts and experiences please!
