Hello everyone,
First post on here. I figured this may be the place where I can find some good information. I have a 1.2 acre pond at my house that was built back in the 50’s. The original drain is a metal pipe that a tree has previously fallen on and bent it. Water will trickle out but something is stuck down far enough to where we can’t reach it. As of now the pond is creating out of one corner. It doesn’t bother me too bad but the dirt is eating out back towards the lake. I have plans to drain it down and pour a concrete run around because it’s feasible at the moment. I am wanting to put a permanent siphon pump that has the water level control on it. I have found it online but nothing showing a way to make it myself. Mainly the part that once the water level rises to the desired level, then the siphon pump sucks out and drops the level back to normal. Does anyone have a diagram or something to explain this?
