Ted,

I checked out your website. Nice pond! I have a question regarding the
rubbermaid container, though. Sequence recommends that the pump have
adequate ventilation to prevent motor/pump overheating. Is that
rubbermaid container totally sealed? And either way, have you found
that the pump stays cool and gets proper air circulation in hot
weather using the rubbermaid container? I just received my Sequence
1000 this week and need to build something for it.

A suggestion... It seems to me you are using plumbers putty where the
pipes enter/exit the housing. Have you tried silicone? I would imagine
that would last quite a while.

I ran into the problem that with my pump and a priming pot it was way to big
for any of the irrigation boxes. I used a rubbermaid container. The lid
snaps on and off easily and keeps the rain out (and we have some hard rain
in Texas). I put the hoses right through the sides and it has worked very
well. One retro fit I will make this year is to do bulkhead fittings (from
the pool store) in the box sides and then glue my PVC lines into them. Right
now I ran them through the sides and used plumbers putty, but due to the
temp I have to put new putty on occasionally as it hardens and cracks.
