Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Renovating a Pond or Lake? Methods to Refill Existing Empty Pond?

I wouldn't presume a siphon is the best option even when starting from scratch. They have their advantages, but disadvantages too. Contractors around here (raleigh, nc) don't like them at all.

You're not starting from scratch however, and removing or abandoning your current system is no easy task. I think you're right to be looking for a simpler fix.
