I see by that drawing the outlet is 4' lower than the intake. I wonder if you have that abilty since you dam is only 6' high? Is the area that you are putting the pipe in a spot that can give you that drop? Perhaps others could relate their experience with their setup and how much is really needed. I still think its a good idea for the sake of not running the pipe thru the bottom of the dam. Yes, you would want a pipe running down the backside. You would want to talk to your builder about this. He may be against it for some reason. Worth mentioning though.
