    Possible Eazy Pod outlet modification

    I fitted a filter sock to the outlet of my Eazy Pod a while ago and altered the outgoing pipework to make an overflow bypass system but now I want to alter it again so it doesn't stick out over the side of the pond so much.

    What I was planning was fitting a 90 degree bend on the outlet of the Pod either with a sweeping bend or 2 x 45s to try to keep the restriction to the flow down as much as possible then fit a branched 45 degree T and a few other fittings to rejig my existing overflow bypass system. I thought I had found the perfect thing for the job in the 45 degree T but have looked again yesterday and have found that there are loads of them about but the biggest anyone does is a 2" version not a 3" I can find 75mm and 90mm metric versions but they are silly money starting at about £40 for the 75mm and £100 + for the 90mm and then I will probably need adapters to go from 3" pressure to which ever metric version is the closest fit which could be the 90mm version as metric pipe is measured using OD and imperial pressure pipe is measured as we all know using ID.

    I've done a very basic drawing of what I am looking to do.

    The arrows numbered 1 are the in coming supply from the Eazy Pod, the arrows numbered 2 are the flow direction with the bypass not being used and the arrows numbered 3 are the flow direction when the bypass is being used.

    The left hand side drawing is from above and the right hand side drawing is from the side.

    Basically it goes - a bend on the Eazy Pod outlet, then the 45 degree T, then a slide valve, then a straight bit of pipe (which I am going to drill holes in to spread the flow over the pond surface a bit more) and finally out through a filter sock (that's the blue lines round the outlets) From the 45 bit of the T it then goes to another 45 then through a 90,and some reducers that make a kind of silencer and back into the pond when the overflow or bypass is working.

    Hopefully with the description and the drawings it makes some kind of sense?

    Any suggestions as to where I can get a 3" 45 degree T for reasonable money?
