A few days ago I decided to do something a little different to speed up filling the pond...
Well...I added another pump to the mix and I'm using my future outfall, my ditch and gravity to move the water over 900'.
This ditch only has water in it a couple days a year, so I plugged my culvert and ran a pump in it filling the ditch up until it covered my outfall and pushed water uphill back into my pond...
I added a hose to my future outfall so the running water wouldn't wash out my sand and stated pumping.
By adding the second pump to the mix, I went from around 45-50 gallons per minute to around 130 gallons per minute. As mentioned above, we had to shut the pumps down the last two days so we could finish grading and seeding, but it would've been full by tomorrow if we wouldn't have.
I will take and post a picture tomorrow of the outfall area as it is completely filled with water now.
