I finally got a good handle on silt control after a job in Mobile Bay last month

We were working on a pipe survey and the viz went to zero in minutes. I started using a small bilge pump to push clean water from above right at my work spot. What's your go-to method when you're working in mud?

Yeah, that bilge pump trick is smart... I've done something similar but with a garden sprayer rigged to a surface air supply. It gives you a steady, gentle flow you can aim without stirring everything up. Makes all the difference when you're trying to see a weld or a valve.

Nice, @michaelgrant. That sprayer idea is way better than my bucket method.

Actually a bilge pump is way stronger than a garden sprayer lol
