Garden Pond Pump
Hi.
Anyone installed one of these? I'm just a bit concerned about running a cable around the edge of the garden and I'm not sure if the transformer plugs into the wall or stays outside. Suggestions and comments welcomed. Danz |

Danz Mine is a 240 volt pump Cable is in rainwater downpipe buried in the ground along with the water feed to the filter tank which is next to the garage That cable and the one for the uv filter then go into the garage If you are installing a low voltage pump put the transformer indoors in an existing socket As the cable outside is low voltage the cable is not such a safety issue Tony |
