They finally put the well in for our new house we're building next to my pond. I'm thinking about trying to use it some to help fill the pond. I was hoping to up grade things a bit to get better flow, but the cost was going to be way more than the wife was going to go along with. I ended up with what I guess is a standard hydrant, I think it is 1" in 3/4" out. What I would like to know is what would give me the best flow to the pond? Just run a 3/4" hose all the way down? Try to up size the hose? Use some 4" corrugated tubing for as much of it as I can? My hydrant is about 200' from the pond, and about 30' higher. The first 70'-80' is pretty much level. I don't want to spend a lot on this until I see if it can truly help my pond. The well guy claims it should flow enough to put 1" in a 1 acre pond, in 24 hours. I have my doubts about that but I will be lucky if my pond is a 1/2 acre when full.
Thanks for any thoughts.
