Can anyone please help me. I have just started to dig a new pond which will be 2000 gallons and want to fit this with a bottom drain, What I am a little confused on is what size pipe will be best suited. The pond will be 11'x7' and 4.5' deep with the drain in the middle, Will I need a 4'' of 3'' drain.

I always recommend 4" The 2" and 3" tend to get stopped up with leafs.
