Holy New Super Pond from Heaven Questions.
I have both systems. One on the pump built-in is probably best for you, so
you don't have the large bobber in the water.... though as an artist you could probably disguise it to look like a boat or glue some fake silk aquarium plants to it. One on the pump will let your water go lower, the bobber can be set so it turns off at a point you prefer. Either way, both work. I got my mercury float switch from www.aquaticeco.com ~ jan On Thu, 17 Jul 2003 00:07:54 -0500, "Little Sccoby" wrote: Speaking of shut-off devices based on water levels, do the pumps that have shutoff capabilities work very well? Or is it always better to use a separate shut-off device and not rely on the pumps with built in shut-off capabilities (especially when running multiple pumps in an array)? I guess what I mean is this: By the time the low water level activates the shut-off mechanism on the pump, is the pump already slightly (even very slightly) damaged in any way or is it just a normal proven method for shutting off a pump that has no side-effects whatsoever (or shorten lifespan of pump in any way)? (I keep hearing horror stories of people who let their pumps run dry). See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |
