Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Rusted out Stand Pipe

W. Robinson,

After searching through this board and reading your post, I have to agree. My primary concern will be "plugging" the old coorigated pipe...and making sure the new siphon system is installed properly.

Any recommendations on filling the old pipe? concrete?

Is there an article or guide for sizing the pipe on a siphon system? I have an airel survey of the lake at capacity and have plotted it out to be approx. 1,375 feet length (both sides are aprox equal)and 475 feet across the dam. It is a basic long triangle shape. I did some rough math and came up with about 7.5 acres...can anyone confirm this?

Thanks for your information!

This is the first of many issues for this lake...I suppose this situation it is common - it has not been cared for and will need a lot more work to get it into shape.
