DIY over flow / trickle in / out pump fed pond
Here's my DIY pond overflow for a PUMP fed pond .
I wanted to do a trickle in / out so made this contraption it works perfect
Cost about Ģ12.00 but i guess most peeps would have a few bits knocking about , basically its all 1.5 " solvent weld .
The pics should be self explanatory , the contraption just goes over the pond wall , the inlet pipe in the pond has to slightly lower than the outlet .
All you have to do is prime it once by sucking on the long black pipe in the picture which you remove after so its not stuck up .
Once its primed it just starts running when the inlet in the pond gets water going through it as your trickle in tops the pond up .
No more messing about doing water changes on a pump fed pond .
Any questions just ask

Just thought it might help out some pump fed pond guys like myself who never built an over flow into there pond . but wanted a trickle in / out .
Must admit its a copy of an over flow jobbie i saw on you tube on a large tank the guy made it for
Cheers

BUMP - can't figure how this works must do as people are using it, will it still work with less obtrusive smaller bore pipe ? (22mm overflow)
