Default Scarecrow sprinkler, feed from Pond?

Hi,
Id love to setup a scarecrow sprinkler to keep Herons, cats and my dog
away from my pond. I dont want to have garden hose running acrosss
the yard, the pond is quite a ways away. Any easy way to use my
exisitng pump, that is feeding my waterfall, to push water to the
scarecrow? Any thoughts?


We hard piped ours connecting in to the outside house water system
(somehow). So all piping is underground, and I even gained a another faucet
closer to the pond area.

Joe brings up some good points regarding hooking it up to a pond pump. I've
never had one stick on, but I've sure had my neighbor make it goes off a
lot when he mows back & forth, back & forth. I go thru a lot of batteries
down by the koi pond, where 1 set of batteries makes it thru the season on
the lily pond. ~ jan
