And now we have water!
I was going to just use my 4" filed pump, but I couldn't come up with any 4" hose at our shop. We use so little of that size, I didn't want to go out and buy any. So, I just grabbed a 2" submersible pump that we had on the shelf and 900' of hose. It won't come close to the volume of the 4" pump, but my water source wouldn't be able to keep up with the 4" pump anyways, so it might all equal out in the end.
Here's my 900' of 2" hose waiting to get spread out.
The tank where I put the 2" submersible sump.
The hose running on top of my berms. I had the pump push the water up on top of the berm as fast as I could to reduce the length that it needs to push the head. This will help the pump last and also increase the amount of water it can push. After the first 50-100', gravity is helping pretty much the rest of the way.
Here's the bottom of the pond where I put the end of the hose to limit erosion.
A pic just 24 hours later. To bad the top half won't fill up as quick as the bottom...
And again this morning before I left for work and before the heavy rains hit.
You can really see it moving as the piles in the bottom slowly get smaller.
