External pump push/pull?
I've been using submersible pumps because there is no easy way to hide an
external pump around my pond. I do have a wooded slope 20-30 feet away from the edge of the pond, so I decided to snake a stream down the slope with a couple of small vf pools along the way. My plan was to bury flex pvc from the pond to the external pump hidden behind a bush next to the top pool and run the electric back to a shed rather than near the pond. So I ordered a Sequence Cimmaron. When I got it in and started reading the documentation, it says to push water instead of pulling. In other words, put the pump by the pond and not hidden up the hill. Is my plan screwed? If I set it up as I planned, sucking water through about 50' of 2" pvc and up about 4', am I going to have problems? Would it make a significant difference if I had the pump in the middle, 25' from the pond, but before the slope? FWIW, the pump is rated for a little less than 3000 gph at 4' height. |
