      Here's the best i could do.

      this pic shows the vortex coming out of the ground underneath the deck.

      the vortex is buried about 4 1/2' in the ground.
      The vortex diameter came out to be around 33-34", and almost 5' tall.
      Vortex has been running for about a year and a half.

      In this next pic you can see the vortex wall a little better. Not very thick, but it is fiberglass. Little bit flimsy, that's why it isn't a perfect circle.
      The microscreen has been running for well over a year now.


      And with this pic you can see how I have it in perspective to my pond.
      I don't have much land, so I had to put everything close together. The vortex is right next to the pond. In order to hide it, I built a second level abstract deck to cover it. I cut a small access door, to service the microscreen.
      here's the pic

      Found em!!!

      Here's the pics from the installation of this thing.


      It took me most of athe week to install the thing, but I didn't want to mess up.

      When you glue in a 4" gate valve, you've only got one shot at it. So, I took my time.


      Here's a shot that shows the clean out drain.
