i have a 1 acre pond, around 10-12 ft deep at its deepest point. i want to
drop a 5/8" garden hose into it, start a siphon (got plenty of downhill to
work with) and drain this pond down to around 5 ft. has anyone out there
attempted such a feat and if so, how did it go? if a single hose won't do
it, i'm thinking of adding a 2nd and then a 3rd, etc until i get adequate
volume going out. obviously, i'd like to do it w/ less hoses if possible.


Just curious. Why do you want to drain such a large pond? As for actually
doing it, if you don't mind waiting half the week for it to drain, you could try
what you suggested, or you could just rent a trash pump and be done with it
today.
