Hi Gerhard,

There's lots of good information so far but if you are inexperienced in water treatment do be careful not to cause a secondary issue especially with the use of a coagulant.

In addition to the advice already provided, I would try and understand what has changed. I presume you were getting good mud-free water previously so can you identify what has changed? This may help in identifying a solution. In the meantime, you may want to consider reviewing the water quality inside your 4 reservoirs as the mud may be depositing and as they fill and discharge this will be exacerbating the problem. Assuming the mud settles, a relatively simple system (but it would involved an intermediate pump) would be to use one of the existing tanks as a settlement tank and just pull off the supernatant.

If you would like to explore my suggestions further please do email me at helenclaychapman@youlearnwater.com 

Kind Regards Helen
