    Converting a Nexus to pump feed

    I know that to change a nexus from pump feed to gravity feed you remove the 4 inch pipe from the inlet side.
    I have two gravity fed nexus that I might want as pump feed. As I purchased them second hand the pipe had already been removed.
    Does anybody know the length of pipe I a need to convert a 220 back to pump fed.

    Thanks

    have no idea,but looking at photos it seems to be about 2-3" below top of outlet grill,you could get some 4" inch pipe and mess about with it depending on height of pond water level to level in nexus,andi

    That is what I thought but I'm not sure why you would need the pipe in the first place

    The water will fill up and over flow then fill the nexus, it would just fill the nexus if there was no pipe.

    I must be missing something as it must be needed .

    its needed to give you a constant water level in the nexus,as your pump in and gravity out,if you stop the pump the nexus will just empty,andi
