Late Wednesday afternoon we had a couple of the local scuba dive team members come and clean out the intake for our pump house. The intake is an 18" pipe that runs from the pump house out into the irrigation pond. On the end of the pipe there is a 2' square screened box. About every 7-10 years this screen becomes plugged with hard water deposits. When it starts to plug it does not allow the water to get into the pump house.
Cleaning the intake is a pretty simple process of using a hammer and pounding all the hard water deposits off the screen. It took a matter of about 35 minutes with two divers to get the screen clean, good for another few years.
Have a safe 4th of July Weekend!!!
