So, will you have a gate or valve at this pump to control when you need water? What happens when you get to much water in the pond, is there an overflow area?
When I hook it up temporarily, there won't be anything, just direct plumbed to the pump and run across the ground.
If I need to hard pipe it in, then I'll put a valve at the pump that will direct water to the pond or the ditch depending on the pond level.
I am putting in a drain tile right now that will move the water from the pond to the ditch in front of my house if it overfills for the short term. In the long term, I will likely put in a wetland out in the field to carry any excess as well.
