I use my well to keep my pond topped off. I was looking for a way for it to stop flowing when it’s full and start flowing when it drops to save me the hassle of Turing the flow on and off all the time.
I found these online and ordered the 3/4 inch one. It does not flow enough as the internal opening is much smaller than 3/4 inch. Other than that is perfect.
Good way to burn your pump up. What happens is the wind will blow the float up and down causing the pump to turn on and off all day long, until you're replacing a submersible pump.
Drill holes in a piece of pipe, set the pipe into the pond bottom where the holes are beneath the surface, and place the valve inside the pipe. No wind, and a stable water level.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

here it is flowing into the pond. I have since added a rduction fitting to make it comptessed into a stream with a little more pressure so it shoots into the air. [video:youtube]http://youtu.be/yvmVqkWfBSY[/video]
here is the spout
not sure why the first two are not embedding

It looked like it, I just wonder how big the opening internally is on the largest one. the well has good volume of flow but not much pressure to push through small openeing and maintain the volume I need.
I'll research those more, Thanks I had not found those in my search...

Bobby, the page has the psi and flow rates. If you can find a chart of pipe sizes with flow and psi maybe you can correlate the sizes? They are on EST if you want to call them.
