Nice job Crow, that is the way to do it, I'm simply making the point that there is a very good reason to spend the extra money on Logstor!

i am primarily clay. i have no rocks even close to that size. largest is roughly driveway gravel size. just not sure at the time where my water is coming from. getting about a gallon in a 24 hr period.

corrugated pipe may have gotten nicked in transport and you never noticed it when installing it......now water is slowly filling pipe and running back tords house....

Willie, I just installed 100' of Logstor pipe, 25' is sitting on the ground under a mobile home, the rest is burind about 5' deep in gravel.  I just left it on the ground and have had no issues yet. My other line is a homemade one using 1" HyrdonX, insulated with 3/4" thick commercial closed cell foam(the grey stuff) wrapped with red Tyvek tape then run inside of 4 white PVC with glued connections. It is sloped into my basement so that if it leaks I will know right away. It's only a 40' run. I used separate runs for supply and return so that I could put new lines in if there was an issue. Everything is working great so far and I'm very happy with what I did. The homemade pipe ended up being close to the price of the logstor but I way overdid it and could have done it much cheaper.
 Home Depot stocks the sewer pipe and is only $15 for 4", I think you can also get 5" at plumbing supply place if the logstor won't fit inside the 4" . The only reason I suggest putting it in sewer pipe is to stop rodent damage, the little frickers will chew anything.
 I'm building a couple of houses near you. I just finished one on Petrolia Line and just about finished one on Bentpath Line.
