Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Building a dam Stand Pipe and Overflow Pipe?

Could you use a syphon design instead of the overflow pipe? There would be no need for a stand pipe...unless I am missing something here. Lots of ponds in East Texas use Spillway only design (no built in way to drain - but hey how many times do you actually NEED to drain). I have both spillway and syphon. Either way, Emergency Spillway = good idea.
