    Auto top up / trickle

    Hello all

    Just got my 2000 gallon pond up and running and just seen a massive error on my part I have not put a feed from a fresh water source into my filter house which means I have to run a hose out each time I am going to go a water change or clean the filter

    I am looking for recommendations on what type of pipe to use as I will need to run a connect from the garage under the ground and back into my filter house

    Once inside I can mess around with floats filters

    Thanks in advance

    20mm MDPE, cheap, easy to use, the black stuff is UV stable, and it's what is used to plumb new houses

    Loads of fittings are available.

    I'm with you on that Andi, I know rolls are cheaper, but such a pain to work with and can't get them straight at all without clipping them constantly, then you've probably lost what you saved on the roll to extra clips.

    Copper can be used above ground but for underground you need the proper pipe, which is MDPE
