Thanks for the clarification Rex! Now I understand what you were telling me about the basin and valve. I was looking at an old thread by lassig from 2012 and saw where it said to drill a 1/4� weep hole at the lowest point of the 45 degree elbow on the outlet pipe at the toe of the dam to prevent standing water from freezing in the winter causing an ice plug. Is this your recommendation?
Many Thanks!
