bindian said:So I bought the pump from Outdoor Equipment Outlet in Conroe, but begged off buying Honda hoses. I went back to TSC and bought them there and came home. Then I realized the strainer that came with the pump, did not fit the hose. So I knew the new Northern Tool in town had lots of fittings, so I went back there and bought a screw on strainer. I tywrapped the hose and strainer into a 5 gallon bucket and tossed into the pond. Can someone explain to me how to throw a two inch suction hose to get it out full length instead of just it coiling up near the shore??????????????
So here are more photos showing the pump in action. I had the discharge flowing into the ditch behind the dam that limited the pond's size. I found the discharge eroded less when the hose end is off the ground about 2 inches and squirts onto a small sheet of plywood.

Well it looks like you are pumping a good stream of water. Pump some up my way please. No rain here and this is the ozarks. Hey if you have a long enough rope you can tie one end around the suction end and walk around opposite side of the pond and drag that suction hose where you need it. It doesn't look like the pond is too big to do it that way. Those hoses are so stiff especially when new.
