All these posts with folks leaving the water on to fill the ponds
makes me awfully nervous. My water dept. uses Chloramine so
I'm Very Very careful to turn off the water. Hope the losses were
kept to a minimum.

Be Careful guys!!


No worries Nedra ! Fortunately my water supply comes from an
underground reservoir and has very little added to it .
I am able to put it directly into my ponds without any problems.

Glad I'm not the only one to do this !
I have even been out shopping when I suddenly remembered that i left the
hose running into the pond !
Fortunately, it was only overflowing into the garden when I got home so
no
real harm done. The fish took the opportunity to nibble at previously
inaccessible bits of algae.
My neighbour has the right Idea. He has a ball-cock fitted to the inlet
to
his pond ! Les.

i went out this morning to drink a cup of tea and watch the sun come
up
over
the mountains and noticed that the water level was a bit low on my
pond.
so
i turned on the water and was letting the pond fill slowly. i finished
my
tea and went in the house. i booted up the old computer and downloaded
a
bunch of stuff. i decided to go back in the kitchen for another cup,
and
happened to look out the back door. the pond was full. i tore open the
back
door and leaned down and turned off the water, which i had failed to
do
10
minutes earlier and thought i had. i caught it just before it went
over
the
edge. whew! my 7 goldfish were swimming in the area near the lowest
edge
where the water would have gone over.
this comes of having a vehicle that turns off the lights automatically
if
i
forget to do it manually. i now expect the waterhose to do that, too.
sheesh.
