On my last house I just used 4 inch pipe at a good angle and ran the pipe off the embankment that was on the side of the lawn. The water ran through that pipe fast enough that it never froze even in the coldest weather. It could be zero out and you could watch the water come out of the end of that pipe hen the pump turned on. Just make sure you get penty of pitch on that discharge pipe.
