Default Pumphouse for external pump?


"phillerup" wrote in message
...
Any suggestions on a making an underground pumphouse for an external
pond? Im concerned that having a dry one will fill up with water when
cleaning the leaf basket. That is when I take the cover off my leaf
basket, water starts flowing out of the top. If that is in a dry
pumphouse wont the water fill the pumphouse and get trapped in there?
Are there good premade pump houses? any cheap quick DIY solutions?


Leave the bottom dirt and put about 6" of drain rock in the bottom.
