Happy Monday!

Originally, I was planning on installing a primary surface withdrawal spillway. However, I've been researching and the state of MO has an "aqua guide" discussing the benefits of a bottom withdrawal spillway. The bottom withdrawal spillway is apparently superior to the surface withdrawal spillway as it removes unwanted stagnant water from the bottom rather than siphoning good quality water from the surface.

It seems like an easy decision to go with the bottom withdrawal spillway but I'm not sure. It'd be great to get some input from the Pond Boss Community regarding this choice.

Thanks in advance.
