Auto pump shut-off for leaking pond?
Whew. Filled pond for 1st time last week. Good. No leaking. Tried
small waterfall/stream with roofing tiles but no liner. No good. Roof tiles leaked a bit, so overnight the 400 gallon pond was almost empty. No big deal as no fish were put in yet. Installed liner under the roofing tiles yesterday, and so far, no leaking, but I'm paranoid that one mischevious raccoon could disturb the stream pond liner. I see available the Little Giant RS-5 Remote switch for submersible pumps, which looks like a good idea. Anyone have any suggestions regarding these? Any other companies make these? |

Float switches: www.aquaticeco.com if you're looking to compare
prices/types. They call them mercury float switches I believe. What are the roofing tiles made of? ~ jan On 13 Sep 2004 18:47:05 -0700, (Rob) wrote: Whew. Filled pond for 1st time last week. Good.

The roofing tiles are standard ceramic, about a third of a cylinder,
maybe 1' long, with no glaze. I've got them lined up to guide the h2o this way and that. A bit hokey, but I'm hoping moss could grow there. By the way, does moss arrive by itself, or is it available at nurseries? |
