Default How did you get power for your water pumps??

The location that I want to put my koi pond is at the other end of my
yard, away from any power outlets from my house. How did you
guys/gals get power to your pumps?

I am also in Oklahoma City, so if anyone here has any good ideas such
as plant life that grows good here it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!


I ran the power through plastic conduit buried 20 inches down.

Tip:
Run extra wires, and run it in oversized conduit so you can run other
stuff through it later if you want.

I ran 1/2 inch conduit, then realized I wanted more wire runs and
would like to also run a flexible water line, so added a 1.5 inch
flexible plastic pipe to the trench. Plenty of space to run more
wiring and a water tube as well.
