Davis, Il.

In order to get in the filter I had to build a ramp.
There was no barrier to hold the sand back, so
I put the entry way and the barrier at the end of
the sand apx. 20 ft. wide.

Pumping down the south filter. Discovered there was no barrier to hold the sand.

 Because we were trying to figure out what to make the barrier and ramp out of, we left the filter sitting too long & had to remove this layer of sludge before I could run my machine.
