You can get an automatic shut-off (mercury flow switch) thru Aquatic
Eco-Systems www.aquaticeco.com When the water goes down, the bobber in the
water turns off the power to the pump. Saving both pump and fish, plus
possibly a lot of water. ~ jan

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!!
