Sounds like a winner..............you could even add a fountain head
or a spitter now with that one open end. Would it be beneficial to add
a valve to that open end to adjust flow........

- - Yep, we did add a valve. :-)

...so if filters start
to load up etc it does not start dumping out the path of least
resistence............The open line should also come in handy for say
doing a water change since you can just squirt the water outside the
pond as well.

- - Right you are. It's on a nice length of hose to easily pull over the
side and let run down the lawn. And the pump, although large, still fit in
the pond plant black plastic clam-basket. I was really starting to worry
that I'd have to ship it back for something with a 1" outflow......
