Nope, pipe didn't exist, I'm putting one in. This is my first step. Started my process yesterday and dug out the back of the pond and dug my drain line trench. That was fun, watching all that water come gushing out was really cool. I'm going to first start out with putting in the main clean out. This will keep the pond empty while I do some cleanup work. I just purchase a bunch of stone for a large retaining wall around the pond for esthetics and creating water bog planting areas. This clean out will be connected with a shut off valve and on normal operation it will come from a skimmer and route via stream or to the barrels via another valve. I think I will utilize a solenoid valve for this one. I'll continue to post as I move along.
