Thank you. We set up your siphon system and it worked like a charm. Amazing how much water a 2 in pipe can move. We were able to lower our pond enough overnight that the emergency spillway quit flowing. A tip: the check valve is actually a sump pump check valve.
That is awesome. I kept wondering how you were going to start it up. Didn’t think about closing the outlet end. Great job mike..
Good stuff
Thank you for simple to the point explanation and no annoying music!!! Subscribed
Thanks! Finally a clear concise video on moving water down not up. I have a 2 season irrigation creek cutting across my property along a hill and I will be diverting some water from it for a pond (eventually) - mountainous area (Rockies). Just wanted to express my appreciation!
As long as you let water out lower level than the inlet pipe then it will work even the pipe goes up b4 going down...then from the outlet with that pressure you csn put ram pump to travel the water uphill...
A Man who who sense. easy to understand & straight forward. Like it.
thanks Mike I really needed to learn this, and in a simple, understandable way!
That is ease. The legislation of Arhemed.
Simple, cheap and it works. Good stuff !!
That's a great way to siphon a pond down to the level you desire- very simple/ Thank you!
simple but very effective, nice one to keep in mind when needed.
Good video Mike. Learned something handy and practical again. Cheers!
Good, clear, well-prepared presentation without the long, rambling introduction. Good idea too. I'll probably need to use it to reduce the salt content in my pool. Thanks.
Great Science Project for school👍
a very slick way of getting a siphon started, thank-you
Awesome idea! Great use for it. Im going to build something similar for my garden this spring. Thanks for the video!
thank you for showing such practical way of using this method
Great Video. I needed this four years ago. I built one with a 4 inch pipe. Moves lots of water cheaply.
If your out flow pipe is long and way below the inlet, you may skip the check valve if you fill the outlet end with a hose
Thank you for the video. I did that over the weekend worked out slick I ran it for 12 hours and dropped the pond down about one foot simple and easy thank again.
Very impressed with your knowledge. Looking forward to using this system on my pond.
Brilliant idea, so simple yet so effective
Great Idea Mike. I learned something today. Thanks for the knowledge.
This is a life saver! Thanks for sharing, now I can do this on my 6 acres.
So elementary yet I never thought of it. Thanks, this gives me more than one idea!
mind blowing, excellent idea. thank you so much for sharing this idea.
One thing to do different Mike, On your discharge end, use a PVC ball valve that you can open and shut. That way, you never have to prime your system after you first primed it as you did.The only downfall in your area is that of freezing which would possibly freeze your valve shut. I use this same method to drain swimming pools.
You raised points i never even considered. Smart man
Hi,
Em, need some gravity therapy not great with this,
However hears my issue,
I run a hybanker sluice flourgold prospecting,,so i want to run my sluce continouse like say 24/7
Now i have an inlet connection 1/2 inch feed into the rear of the sluice, now i know the system will work drawing water into the sluice,
Can i add a shut of valve on the neck before the sluice thus can i use that shut off valve/tap as a controller controlling the water in,
Further i don't know if its possible gravity fed that is if i could recirculate the water from a contanor back to a contanor the object is to get away from battery's,bilg pumps and physically carrying pails of water,
I do a lot of beach sluicing also,,so mikes syhpin system is great could i therefore say draw water from a creek,river lake even the sea as a potential water source to feed my system,,
Okay mikes Is a two I inch system so i would have to scale down help please your answers are highly valuied.
Thank you
Very nice Mike , excellent system, well explained!
i think every video i watch that you make, i press the like button. you are one of my new favorite youtube channels. you seem honest and hardworking and that goes a long way with me. anyways thanks for another video and take care, (from canada)
Echo that ....
That's a neat way to lower that pond. Very clever.
I’m so glad I found your channel. I searched for videos on gravel driveways and found your videos. I’ve begun to watch all of your videos and so far every one I’ve seen I can benefit from!
I have a place where I used to have a pond. It got so bad down there and started to cause a host of problems that we had to drain it. However we found that the pond side is lower than the existing grade opposite the dam. But if I go about 20’ past the dam it drops of. It stays so wet I can’t get my equipment in to properly fix the drainage and I couldn’t afford a pump plus there’s no electricity.
I can now take this knowledge and get that mess dried out.
Thank you for sharing this! Subscribed !
Thanks Shawn and I'm happy you found us!
I want to see more simple stuff like this, thanks.
Perfect. I’m about to drain my 1.5 acre pond to do some maintenance, refurb/reshaping and this will work perfectly!
I've never seen that done before!
Simple and it works well👍
Not sure why RUclips recommended this video to me but I'm happy I watched it. Great info!!!!!!!! Very valuable. Thank you sir.
Thanks Frank
Buddy that is a dam good ingenious way to do it ,, i have use for something like this thank you ...
Excellent and Practical Video ! Great Job !
This video saved me a lot of money! Thank you!
Excellent video with some great music!
Brilliant, I have a hole in dam wall and was going to hire a pump to drain water but this is gold. Plus you keep pipes for future draining if needed. Thanks for showing.
Simple, yet genius. 👍
I saved this to my favorites, A great video ,Very useful.
Brilliant. I learned something. I also like the fact that you fast forwarded the creation of the pipes. Even better if you showed a time lapse of the pond going down (sorry, I am teacher and I think I just went into marking mode!)
Great video. I have been wanting to make a rain capture system, but will need to move the water from tanks to garden. This just help me figure out the movement. Thanks..
Great presentation.
This is EASY physics that everyone of us should know.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you Paul, have a good day
Man that is one smart little system. I tip my hat sir
This is a FANTASTIC idea and design. Thank you so much sir.
Hi Mike, this is a great video, it's one I have missed along the way, so simple but so brilliant. 😁
Cool!! Efficient, simple, clean!!Thanks for sharing.
Siphons certainly work. Here in United Kingdom the city of Birmingham draws water from reservoirs in mid-Wales, a distance of about 100 miles. Gravity fed up hill and down valleys and no pumps!
Thanks for the video. I was trying to pump down the pond due to damage to the dam from muskrats. I was using a pump and all was well, but the pump quit during this latest rain to hit western KY. I couldn't get a replacement pump and decided to use your idea. We ended up getting about 10" of rain and the siphon kept the water below the damaged area of the dam. It worked great. Thanks again.
Wonderful! Glad it worked for you
Thank you for "how to" content that rings true!
Built this today & it is working great! Thanks for a great video. NW PA near Corry.
Glad it helped
Hi Morgan's, love your channel. Like your content. Have learned many pieces of info to help me manage our six acre wood lot/camp. Look forward to each new video. I am like-minded with you folks, hard work is very enjoyable. Thanks.
thank you MIKE AND YOU HEPER , GOOD JOB 🙌🏻🙏👍🏻
Wow so simple. I will try this since my property is near the river and watering plants will be simple and easy. So I can add a Ram Pump to lift the water to my storage tank. Cool and simple and cheap!
Thank you very much . This trick is so helpful to my fishpond , my pond water level goes down due to evaporation , now i can refill it by siphoning from the river outside even in lowtide
Great video. Learn something new everyday
Easy way to start a vacuum......I like the way you did this. The word vacuum is a big deal in the plumbing world. I'm a plumber 46 years and going. The main reason we have vents in out plumbing system is to stop negative and positive pressures...Keep the video's coming.
this was worth watching...good info...thanks
Thank you, you have just solved a problem for me, love this!!!
Great work Mike, pretty cool system
So slick, yet so simple....👍👍
Excellent video as usual.
That was an excellent idea....Great Job...I just found your page...glad I did,
Thank you so much. I wanted to find out how to get water from our dug well if the electric goes out. You answered it!
That was a cool video. What a good way to siphon. 👍👍👍❤️
Love your video. Very good idea thank you👍👍👍
Hiiii Mike 🖐🏾
No electricity bill
No water bill
It's really incredible 👌
Thank you sir 🙏
GOD bless you ⛪
From INDIAN.
Great video and the check valve idea on the inlet is much better than the ball valve I have used. I also used a ball valve at the outlet so I could throttle the flow or shut it off completely without the need to reprime the siphon. One thing to note: Not only must the inlet be higher than the outlet, the total rise over the dam cannot be more than 32 feet (at sea level - 27 feet at my altitude).
It works great. we did this with 6 inch pipe about 20 years ago when we had to drain 4 ponds
Wow! Just wow! Awesome!
that,s the best way to go. i liked it mike 👍👍
Amazing! Your genius!
That's Soooooo Satisfying !!!!
Well Mike today I learned something new thank you I can use this idea for sure. I was in the bush yesterday cutting up a maple that I had blown over last summer the snow was still I bit deep but it was duabull. Have a good day 👍
Very nicely explained abs demonstrated, thanks a lot 🌝
Great idea 👍. Thnx for the sharing
I have this same problem....thanks for giving me a temporary solution!
Wow You are a man. Great idea energy free. Wishes & regards from South India
Thanks Mike. A great idea.
Very clever Mr. Morgan very clever indeed.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing
Taught me something easy way thanks
Great idea. Never thought about that before
Great tutorial...nice job...thank you...!!!
Thank you, this is just the info I was looking for.
Pretty neat idea!
Very nice 👍
Thanks i we'll use in Honduras
Thanks again.
Awesome way to move water better than a pump!! 👊
NOT BAD.....NOT BAD AT ALL!!!!!!!! Thank you for the info. Very smart!!!!!!
Thanks bruce willis.youre awesome
Great video and good pickin on the music !! Thanks
Cool video mike for those that didn't know how to run a siphon pipe line. I have two at the farm one in the well & one at that dams. Run black pvc pipe a foot valve in the water source then a gate valve a couple of meters or feet down from the stand pipe so you don't have to fill the whole pipeline, fill to the stand pipe seal open the gate valve & of course let gravity do the rest.
Sounds interesting, but I have no idea what you are talking about. I'm new to farming and have a problem with beavers flooding my land. I would like to use this system. Can you make a video and link me. I would live to learn how to make this.
very simple i like many people talk to much and never go to the point you the best
Good simple syphon. If you use Fernco connectors between each length of pipe it can be broken apart and re-assembled easily.
Cool never knew that glad to know, thanks Mike for the info.
Thanks for your video
Great job Mike that is the same thing we was going to make i was just going to use 2 valves and put the fill on the down side to fill to start it ! take care have a great week ! Kioti Curt :-)
Mike! Thats ingenious! Thanks for the videos. I like the new tractor seems powerful, any way you could clip the wire to that reverse chime its super loud on this end. Thanks man keep up the good work.
nice use of basic fluid mechanics - siphon
I don’t own a pond, but damned if I didn’t just learn something from you. Thanks.
Nice what a great idea thank you !!o yea I enjoy your energy !!
