[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 767752, member: 9115"] You don't have to dig halfway across the pond. We have done several thuough the years and so far have never had a failure. Cut 1 1/4 galvinized pipe into 7' sections. Put a cap on one piece, drill a whole bunch of 3/8" holes in the pipe. Use a transit to figure where in the pond you want the pipe to end up, and on the back side find the same place. Dig about a 10' trench with the backhoe, place a really solid board, we use an oak bridge plank, level on the bottom of the trench. Put another cap on the end of your first pipe, lay it on the board, and push with the hoe. When you reach the bank, unscrew the cap, put another 7' piece on in its place, put your push cap back on, and push again. The farthest I have pushed one is 120'. Unless you hit a rock, or live in South Mo., it will push amazingly strait. You can tell when you get to the water, cuz' water will start coming out when you take the push cap off. Don't really need a stand pipe in the pond, cuz' the holes are strait out in the pond. Don't aim for the bottom, give yourself some wriggle room. Hope this helps, gs [/QUOTE]
