[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1782342, member: 39018"] I put down 1 1/2" screened rock all around them to avoid the mud. Filled the trench underneath the tire/around the riser pipes with the same, so it wouldn't settle. Tamped sackrete in under the sidewall and around the pipes coming in, let water in enough so it covered the concrete a few inches and let sit for 1/2 a day, then filled it with water and let the cattle on it the next day. I used a utility hydrant as my entrance pipe and shutoff (operates on the same principle as a yard hydrant, just built differently, and is available in larger pipe size for less restriction on the flow... ). That allows me the option of draining the water down below the frostline. Followed that with an anti-siphon check valve, then the Topaz. [/QUOTE]
