Sorry- Not the song from The Sons of The Pioneers. We got some good rains yesterday and our pond was low so I thought I would pump Cool Clear Water. The pond is built on some old permanent pasture on the side of a hill. A creek runs along side of it and starts about 200 yards up the hill where 2 tile mains dump into it. I know some people say not to use tile water but I know what they drain. I built a driveway across the creek with a 15 in. culvert through it. Now I can take a piece of plywood that I glued some foam rubber to and slide it in front of the culvert and block the water forming a pool. That is what I pump out of. The pump pumps 200 gallon a minute-12000 gallon a hour and the pond is a little over and acre--so a acre inch is 27000 gallon so I can pump an inch in a little over 2 hrs. The pump runs 3 hrs. on a tank of gas so it won't break me. The last picture is my son acting GOOFY....PS> If you want to hear The Pioneers go to you tube and type in COOL CLEAR WATER. Neat old song-----TEE
