Default Extending Water to Pond

There is another no no. I don't believe you are supposed to run
romex through conduit. For safety sake you really should follow
national electrical codes.
As for the water. If you plan to drain or blow it out for the
winter, I would use 3/4" sprinkler tubing. It comes in 50' and 100'
rolls and is very cheap and easy to work with. (barbed fittings)

ak! I had an immediate mental picture of somebody digging in the

backyard
and
hitting both lines at once. Looked like Wiley Coyote on one of his

better
days...
You might always know that the lines run together but somebody

else might
not.
And if you have boys like I have boys... digging illicit holes is

right up
there as mischief just waiting to happen.



Really? Running two conduits...one full of water, and one containing

two
romex cables sounds bad? I thought that sounded great? I mean

really...If
someone pounds a shovel through a piece of PVC, and thru both

wires...will a
little water really make a difference? Especially if these circuits

have
GFI's?
