[QUOTE="dun, post: 620819, member: 34"] For the antiseep color I cut a hole in the cover of a 5 gallon bucket lid that was a tight fit over the pipe. Dug a trench that was wider and deeper the nthe lid, laid in the pipe then filled the trench with powdered bentonight then filled over the top eith the clay from the dam. In the pond I elboed the pipe up about 2 feet so as silt builds in the pond it wouldn;t close off the pipe abd I put a 1/4 inch mesh screen cap over the end. Then I too a 4inch diameter section of leachline pipe and build a riser that was anchored in the clay by the pipe head and uxtended itto a foot or so higher then the spillway. The riser around the pipe serves 2 purposes. 1) it keeps leaves and stuff from getting to the waterpipe and 2) it shows me where the end of the line is if I ever have to work on it. Actually there is a third use, it's marked with the depth of the pond in 4 inch increments so I can tell how deep the water in the pond is. [/QUOTE]
