Please don't laugh at my question or suggest I need a shrink. After I
installed my new Sequence 7200 pump I started realizing that if the pipe
ever broke that this thing would pump my pond dry in about half an hour.
My
question is whether there is enough water pressure in the line to burst
a
pipe fitting (like on a sprinker system where a cracked pvc joint will
someday burst) or if the water running through the flexipipe is more
similar
to water running through an open hose, meaning lots of water but very
little
pressure on the hose itself.

Help! I can't sleep!!

Don't put your pump on the very bottom of the pond! Raise it about a foot
off the bottom, so if you suffer a catastrophe you won't drain the entire
pond. This will give your fish enough water to live in for a while and
will
prevent your pump from sucking the muck off the bottom.
