    Re: PVC Pipe Size - What to choose?

    Thanks for the advice! I just purchased my 2" PVC for the bell part of my siphon. I still have no idea how I am going to cut notches out of the bottom like I see a lot of people do. Do you think I could just drill a few holes in the bottom to compensate for that, which will allow the water in there?

    As for the drain guard, I like that idea. I will probably do that, since I cannot find 3" PVC anywhere.

    Re: PVC Pipe Size - What to choose?

    heres 2 ways to make the holes. get a fat drill bit and drill a bunch of holes as low as possible. or you could get a little hack saw and cut as if you were going to cut out a v. this will create a bunch of triangle holes that work fine.

    definitely get the bigger size guard. i couldnt get my hand in there to save my life with my 3" guard.
