My problem is the BD...I put a lot of effort into it because it had this
magical reputation. If can solve my problem by moving the pump to the
pond,
and pushing water to the VF, but then the BD is defeated. I am trying to
solve this and keep my BD in tact.

-- put the pump in the VF at the end of the BD run so it pulls water
from the pond

I considered that, but it does not appear that the pump I bought can be
hooked up in that manner.

This weekend, if I can get the time, I plan to raise the pond edge up a bit.
I think I can get it up 3-4 inches. I am also going to drop the horizontal
run a bit deeper to be sure it stays below the water level totally. The VF
will get dug a bit deeper as well. I figure then if I can restrict the
output of the pump a little which hopefully will help to raise the level of
the water in the VF by allowing the pump to pull more up then it is putting
out.

Unfortunately we have all kinds of family stuff planned this weekend, so I
am not sure when I can get to this.
