[QUOTE="aussiefarmer, post: 414903, member: 5729"] Finding an ideal location for the drop will be key , you will need the hieght of your banker plus a foot or two to achieve flow , the more drop the more volume of water , the way i have achieved siphon is to have a cap that seals one end , Submerge the entire pipe until all air is replaced with water, Cap the down stream end and haul pipe over the wier and into position, Remove cap and let it flow , I have done this with 2 inch and also 4 inch , 4 is bloody heavy when full. Finding a spot with enough fall that doesnt need to much pipe would be a challenge, you must use hard pipe as soft hose can suck itself flat. [/QUOTE]
