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!

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..
