The way I understand it, and someone correct me if I'm wrong:
--Size of pipe is the same as what size is recommended for your pond's overflow pipe.

--It can act both as an overflow pipe and siphon, depends on how it is set up. Thats the true benefit of it.

--If you want it to act as a overflow pipe, the horizontal pipe is placed in the dam at the level you want the surface water to stay at. Then it still can be used as a siphon when needed.
