Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations drawing of overflow pipes...?

does any one have any home drawing or know sites where i can find some.....i'm looking at a underwater type stand pipe.......maybe a double [ pipe on top on pipe ] or [pipe side by side]....but i do want to draw water from about 2 feet lower than the water height.........thanks guys.....

If I were doing a pipe, I'd be tempted to pull it from as close to bottom as possible without risking it be plugged by sediment.

Anyway, here are a couple links that might help.

Stroker,

Do a web search on USDA AG Handbook 590. Its a manual entitled Ponds-Planning, Design and Construction. Go to page 48, Figure 23 and hopefully that will be what you are looking for. The handbook is PDF format.

Better yet, use the link from Rangersedge.

You might try these folks:

They have complete pond drainage systems made of aluminum, they claim the systems will last 60 yrs or more. I have a drawing of an overflow system that has a trash rack that sits over the drain pipe that I would be glad to fax to you if necessary. This is the type of drain sys. that I have in my pond.

thanks for all the help........i did a small pvc model of what i had in mind.......it works well.......so i;ll go with that........thanks...
