Wish to use in water-pond form as pool for large dogs - just drill correct hole and use? Thank you very much.

Great idea you have. Yes, that is what you would do. I replaced mine on my Sea Doo. The fiberglass shell basically has a hole in it that this fits in. The seal will prevent it from leaking as long as the surface of the pond is not really curved or flexible. Good luck!

Should work fine as long as the surface is flat where the plug is to be installed. Keep in mind that the amount of water will dictate the pressure applied to the fasteners. You may need to use a screw or bolt with a nut on the back. May also consider the application of some silicone for the best seal.

yes, I installed two as extra drains in kayaks. If my memory serves me correctly they were pop riveted in place through 2 side holes.

Don't know if it will hold water below the water line. We bought it for draining water our of a kayak, but it doesn't sit below a water line.

Hi Al, Who knows. Plan B, grab the ol' garden hose. Coil it up. Dunk whole hose in pool, till filled with water. Put thumb over one end, pull out that end, release thumb,water will flow. Have fun, Rex

The hole was in our pool we bit the liner with a razor blade. In our previous pool we used tin snips to cut the hole after careful measurements.

the hole needs to be 24" deep and 18" in diameter. I used four (04) bags of concrete mix, 80 lbs each. It is very solid in the ground.

Since the base has a "plug" I fill mine with water. Also I drove a metal rod in the ground right next to it and used a zip-tie to secure together. Works out great. If you put this near a pool the water in the base should be enough.

No you don't have to drill a hole on ours. There is a hole in the back at the top right under the lip. We keep ours outside and have it hooked to a timer. Fabulous fountain.

1. Rid the pond of large leaves ( both floating and sunk )2. Simple to assemble ( 30 seconds ), twist together and attach the hose3. Don't use the brush ( stuff plugs it up )4. Aim the discharge hose toward an area that flows away from your pond ( I aim mine into a planting bed, let it dry, them rake it up )5. Be sure to have a long hose from your faucet to the vac ( allows you to move around the pond easier )6. Don't vac up your fish if you have any :)

In our situation it was because our dog likes to do his business right in front of one of the gates that guests use to enter the back yard. Honestly, we never even installed this thing. You need to dig a hole to China for drainage (which is fine, if needed) but you also need to fill it with water with every, um, deposit. I thought that would be easy as I have a hose spigot out there but you also can't sink it close to the house so I would need to use the hose, etc. every time. Not much use in the NY winters either as the water would freeze. We wound up getting a galvanized bucket with a tight fitting lid that we line with a plastic bag and just scoop his poop into there.

It just needs to float in the fish pond. I have a large pond and they worked great for me.

The hole is meant to prevent the pump from getting "air locked". It's a very small hole and won't cause much water from getting back into the pit. Not sure if it's absolutely necessary but I didn't think it was worth the risk of burning up the pump.

I went to my local pool supplier. They also offer supplies for ponds and really anything water related. They had several to chose from.

I believe it's a 5/8 or 3/4 hole that it needs. Maybe 1" at most. Been a while. But it will not sit tight against the base and be waterproof. You would need to silicone it .Apply a bead to around hole push it in tight and wipe off excess.

Dogs will tear the liner in a regular above ground pool so i would certainly not trust an easy set pool to with stand more than a $5000 pool would, trust me had it happen

You would have to build something to fix the wringer to, like a board, which you could then place over a large bucket. We mounted it near the garage, on the fence. I cover it with a waterproof cover to protect it when not in use. It is very heavy duty, and can really wring out the water!!

Depends on how much water flow you want. I drilled two 1/64 inch holes, one on each side, about one inch from the bottom, and was satisfied with that. Drilled a second one at 1/32 inch and decided it was too much, for my use. Remember, you can always make the hole larger. Smaller, not so much.....

I have the same situation for my swimming pool, i had a small hole made into the concrete, it is very easy to do if you know someone who has a hammer drill or you can rent it (I rented one recently at home depot for $20) For the home swimmer I had the hole drilled 6-7 years ago , it works perfectly and did not give me any kind of trouble ( crack or dirt) the little steak does not rust, I hope this can help.

I don't see why not; however, it may take some time as you say your pond is large and I merely used it to transfer fuel from a riding mower to a can. I would recommend perhaps beginning with a wet/dry vac then as you near the bottom, then use this item.
