GW, thanks for the reply.........interresting link.
I have looked into hydraulic pumps before, especially after the article in Pondboss a few months back. My situation really doesnt lend itself to that type of pump. I have adequate volume(cubic ft/sec) but I have very little vertical drop and no place to set the pump that would result in an adequate grade.
I wish I could make it work, I really like the idea of a "no cost" pump. Thanks again..........any other takers????
