Our foot valve is about a foot off the bottom (attached to the top of a concrete block). My sense is that once you get far enough from shore and in deep enough water, the waves don’t churn up sediment on the bottom so it doesn’t need to be too high off the bottom (but you certainly don’t want it too close that pulling the water in creates its own current on the bottom to suck up sediment).
