Irritating Neighbour's Water Feature
"M C C" wrote in message My neighbour has a little waterfall in their pond. I think it's great that they have a pond, but the problem is the little waterfall which makes a most irritating noise 24 hours a day. It sounds a bit like gutter which is overflowing or something, it really doesn't sound like a waterfall at all. Offer to pay for a time switch for the pump and set it to go off say at 11 p.m. and come back on at 7 a.m., plug it in and enjoy the silence :-) -- One problem with that is that if they have fish it is better for them if the waterfall is working at night, when the plants are using oxygen, so that there is increased gas exchange. Turning it off on a hot sultry night with thunder storms, if they have lots of plants in their pond, could see all their fish dead by morning. Try just asking nicely, they may make a change to the outfall that will make all the difference. At least it might sound nice. :-) -- Bob www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an Allotment site in Runnymede fighting for it's existence. |
