Default Extending Water to Pond

Computing by the pond is such a blast! I am a professor. that gives me an
excuse to 'study' by the pond. Great sport!

Mike,

Don't know how big your pond is, but I would recommend running a larger

line
and using something like a toilet valve (Floating cylinder on post) as an
auto level device. Ours sticks out of a tupperware contained filled with
rocks. The koi haven't bothered it and we never worry about topping up

the
pond. It works fine on the regular household PVC, 1/2". I would be
skittish, however, of running water and that kind of elec. in the same

pipe.
The pvc will do fine on its own underground. Ours runs under our deck,

up
against the beams.

Good luck.

Jim


Thanks for the input.

I may go with 1/2" line instead of 1/4".

Any electrical that ran through the outer pipe would be low voltage
signal wires (Cat 5E plenum rated most likely.) Might run a wireless
access point out there, as my wireless signals just barely reach out
there right now with a wireless router in the house..
