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!

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.
