Sump on a pond?

[studd muffin]

You guys think it will be possible? Its just an idea my dad and I just thought about. I think it will help get rid with the leaves and and sap. The pond is about 1075 gallons. I went to my lfs earlier today and he had a used sump for $30. I think im going to pick it up to try it out with my pond. If it doesnt work out them ill just use it on one of my tanks.

Doesn't look right to me, you are pumping water down hill...?

But of course there are many ways to fit a 'sump' to a pond...below, besides or above.

The sump will be beside the pond.
