addy1 let us know how it goes and pics wud be great....I am in the same situation as you, I do not want to cut into the liner. That is jus another place for possible leaks. I have read of so many instances of people having leaks in the BD's....

i will be working on the piping next week, will let take pictures and upload them.

In theory it should work, LOL, and pull water from a wide area of the bottom. We are going to test different cuttings, i.e. how far apart. Starting with a wide spread and slowly make the cuttings closer to make sure we keep good suction across the entire pipe. with just a little water in pond to start...........well water is a warm 61 degrees.

We are not going to put in the back flow port at this time, but it can be added if needed.
