One more question please teehjaeh57: did you need to use any PVC elbows in your system? For instance when your PVC pipe runs out of the pond and up then over the embankment, then over and down the dam side? It would be great if the rubber couplers flexed enough where a PVC elbow was not needed as I would think any elbow would need to be glued. How did you handle that? I hope my question makes sense.

I am guessing you could make some short PVC pieces with elbows that give you the ability to move it to other BOWs with slightly different dam sizes, freeboard heights, etc. The portability factor is important for my intended application. Thanks again for the info. BM61
