Default Pumphouse for external pump?

should it be something like a rubber made bin? What do you do in the
winter? if the plumbing is below ground once you remove the pump wont
it drain the pond?

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.
