Flocculation!
Silt is not going to settle out because the particle size allows it to remain suspended. If you add a bit of a flocculant such as alum, it allows the clay particles to be attracted to each other to form large clumps that will settle. This is the method that city water treatment plants use to treat millions of gallons per year...If it isn't the best way, at least it is the cheapest.

Which method gives the best results when separating a mixture of sand and water?
Filtration. Place a glass funnel over a beaker, and put a circle of filter paper inside the funnel. Pour the sand-water mixture into the filter paper. The sand should get trapped by the paper, but the water should seep through into the beaker.
