[QUOTE="snichols264, post: 767906, member: 13059"] Redbull: Did you use PVC or gavinized? I got 2" schedule 80 but am still concerned about punching a hole in the PVC with a rock when packing back the clay with the backhoe bucket,,,,I may be worrying too much. JKWilson: The pipe will supply a "freeze proof" waterer, so the water hose wouldn't work for my purpose. plumber_greg: I'm not in southern MO. but I bet northern AR. would give you a run for your money in the rock department. The numerous rocks and the fact that I only have a mid -sized kubota backhoe scared me away from trying to push it through; although I might be able to dig within 3 or 4 feet of the water and push it the rest of the way. Dun: Dun got the homemade anti-seep collar and 600 pounds of bentinite ready and waiting. agmanto: Does your siphon system supply a waterer or only prevent water from going over the dam? If used to fill a waterer, how do you reestablish a prime if pressure is lost, and how reliable is the system? I suppose you would have to have a foot valve in the pond which I was afraid would get some trash in it preventing it from closing completly and would allow the water to drain back to the pond resulting in some thirsty cows. I did like the idea in your link to put a larger diameter pipe over the standpipe to draw water from the bottom and to keep debris away from the supply line. Thanks to all for the input, I have been "figuring" on this for quite awhile. I sure wish I had put the pipe in when I cleaned the pond out a couple of years ago, would have been a whole lot easier!
