Oy. Charades anyone?

I could use a tool like that. Although the extra hoses have me confused. I have a three foot piece of hose that I use... no real water waste there. I'd be interested to see what this product is all about if you could find it.

There is a drain system called the "python" that works exactly the way your describing.

So...could it be the Mighty Python...

OR maybe the Monty Python!

I bought a ballcock T valve thingie (sorry... not sure the proper name) and mounted it in the hose that runs from the main pump to the falls... now if I want to drain the pond any, all I have to do is turn the hand and it changes the direction of the water from going to the falls to go to the yard.
