Del,
As you have 2 bottom drains fitted into a 'T' then into a seive, I'd cut into the pipe as shown and fit a 2" take off. Fit a pump to this and pump over the shower.
Do the same on the other pair of pipes and you'll have a big flow over the shower.
Use eco Aquamax 16000 perhaps.

Thanks gazza i would have to drop the pond 3ft mate big job. I think plus would have to turn all the filters off how long have i got there are beads filters.Thanks derekGazza wrote:Hi Del,
Thats what i was thinking of like Bob has pointed out.You could drain the pond down a bit (depending on how low that pipe is) or even remove the bottom drain lids and plug the holesall you need is perhaps a guy who does ponds and can dive.....any thoughts Jules

Get some cheap swimming pools off of ebay, or similar
Pump some of the pond out into them
Cut the 4" pipe
Block off one of the 4" pipes by the 'T' with a rubber boot 'end'. This will then seperate the 4" pipes
Fit a rubber boot bend to the other 4" pipe and straight into a 4" to 2" reducer and valve, already pre glued and dried in advance.
Pump back water into pond
All done inthe same day

If it were my pond I would dive on the pool remove the bottom drain lid and bung with a 4 inch expanding plug. The koi could stay where they are and no water would be lost. I would then cut the 4 inch pipe and fit a rubber tee. Fit a 4 inch to 2 inch reducer and come off that with a 2 inch ball valve. You can the use this to feed the showers. Should take about 3 hours.
Good luck.
Jules
Good luck.
