Pipe Inspection and Replacement

What happens here

The creator retrieves the old pipe and filter system from the pond. The filter, a PVC pipe with numerous holes covered in window screen, is examined and confirmed not to be blocked. He then locates a 'squashed' section of the poly pipe, which is meant to be the suspected cause of the siphon loss. Using a pipe cutter, he removes this squashed section. Upon inspection, the 'squashed' part shows only a minimal reduction in diameter compared to a normal pipe section, making the creator question if this was indeed the main problem. The newly cut pipe ends are then connected using a compression coupling and two stainless steel hose clamps, ensuring a tight seal.

Goal: Remove and replace the squashed section of the poly pipe
