Hi All
I'm building my first major pond and I need help with pipe size and logic. The pond will have skimmer that feds into a bog and a bottom drain that feeds into bog via a settlement tank.
So I really want to confirm what will be the best pipe size to use. For the Bottom drain I was going to use a 4" pipe into the the settlement tank and thinking out 2" for the rest. I'm in the UK so will use rigid PVC with solvent weld joints,
My concern is the settlement tank and pump to bog; is it possible the pump could be to fast for the gravity fed settlement tank, the settlement tank will be open so I'm worried the pump will suck to fast and start emptying the tank because the gravity fee can't keep up?
I'll appreciate any help or advice
