The riverbed by the old mill went from a total clog to clear in under a month
We switched from a 6-inch to an 8-inch suction line and the difference in silt removal was crazy. Anyone else had a simple upgrade fix a chronic problem like that?

That's actually a flow rate improvement, not just a bigger pipe. The cross-sectional area of an 8-inch line is about 78% more than a 6-inch. It's moving a lot more water, which carries the silt away instead of letting it settle. Makes sense it cleared up so fast.

Right, @sanchez.robin. Explains my shower pressure too.
