do I need a bottom drain?
Ok, I guess bottom drain it is.
WooHoo! ;o) Here's another drain-like question: I was thinking I'd put some overflow pipes To keep the mosquito fish from being sucked out through the overflow pipes I thought I'd cover the openings with some kind of mesh screen or fabric. Lydia As already mentioned, check out Greg's Pipe Boot, tis what I used for my skimmer portion. For an overflow go thru the side and use an elbow and perhaps a length of pipe (if needed) to the surface of the high point as you described. Rather than screen it, I suggest have it empty into a barrel somewhere away from the pond. That way if you need to cut the minnow numbers, easy way to catch, but mostly without a screen it won't clog and you could use it to skim the surface, yet save any fish that get sucked in. The barrel could have a sump pump to pump the water off to anywhere the garden needed extra water if it got too full. Regarding my skimmer, you might want to check out the piping design we put under the liner for my bottom drain with a skimmer that feeds into same pipe. Bottom drains a must, but skimmer are very nice too. ~ jan Click on *My Lily Pond* http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |
