OK.......... the 12" siphon began siphoning this morning, I heard the noise from back porch at house which is approximately 200 to 250 yards away from the Dam. (04/02/09)
WATER FLOW WAS A FULL 12" STREAM SHOOTING OUT APPROXIMATELY 8 FOOT, NOTICED NO VIBRATION ON OUTLET PIPING AND/OR 45 DEGREE ELL,
THE 4 " VENT WAS SUCKING FULL FLOW OF WATER UP THE VENT AND INTO THE 12 PIPING, I RECORDED NOISES AT OUTLET AND VENT ON MY CELL PHONE.
WILL SEND PICTURES TO SHARON TODAY VIA E-MAIL TO POST ON FORUM UNDER 12" SIPHON.
DID NOTICE THAT I NEED TO BRACE THE 4" VENT PIPE BETTER PER SHAKES WHEN IT BEGINS TO REACH LEVEL WHERE AIR WIL BE INTRODUCED INTO THE VENT PIPE, ONCE AIR BEGINS ENTRY, OUTLET FLOW SLOWLY BEGINS TO DECREASE TO NORMAL OUTLET FLOW STREAM.
AMAZING SITE......
PS... Two big Canadian Geese was swimming in the middle of the pond this morning also..suppose they came over to see the "show".
