Never seen irrigation like this? Pumping from the pond...setup start to finish!

What happens here

After all connections are secured and PVC glue has dried (waiting at least 2 hours is recommended), it's time to prime the pump. Pour water from a bucket into the pump's priming port until it's full. Once primed, start the pump using the pull cord. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes before increasing to full throttle. Observe the firehose for initial water flow. As pressure builds, water will begin to spray from the K-Line pods along the pond dam.

Goal: Initiate water flow through the K-Line system to begin irrigating the pond dam.
