Message: [QUOTE="Joey1948, post: 141733, member: 5110"] I realized I won't need the priming pot because my pond's bottom is at ground level. It's only about 10"deep but, I think that is plenty to keep the pump primed without me worrying about the water level going down 3-4 inches. Now that I've said that, I probably should add a float valve considering I'm going to need to rent a jack hammer anyhow to redo the plumbing. One other thing, when I took mine apart, I noticed a single threaded SS bolt threaded into the end of the discharge end. It has an O ring seal so, that is suspect also. I'm thinking it might be worth while to install a check valve on the discharge side and a ball valve on the inlet side and provide a drain valve so water does not sit in the pump when not operating. I like that idea but, let me know if there is something I need to know about that! Good to have somebody to bounce these things around with. [/QUOTE]
