Thoughts keep coming:

I have an unused water well near by (20 ft?) now that I have city water.

What if I drew water from the well, and returned it to the bayou?
I'd have a foot or 5 of lift involved, and not any longer be able to use a submersible pump (which would likely eliminate self prime, so a high temp limit switch would become required). However the biological slime would be nearly non existent, and particulates would likely be low with my modest flow rates.
Still open loop, still limited site work, little bit more water pump requirement, but potential for reduced clogs.

Thoughts?
