I do have a 13" X 8' photo electric panel in the garage which I will be installing on the roof of the garage to power some lights come winter. The garage itself is about 150 yards from my house and not connected to the grid.

Question.Why can't a solar unit (on the roof) provide power (via electric cabling) to an external element/pump, close to the pond to circulate and heat pond water? :shock: Am I barking mad or have I missed something. TicToc It can Max but you will need a sh1t-load of them to do it. How many sq feet...

Tock,
Go for the mushroom style eco pump. Costs a bit more but will pay back in a year or two.

Why are Brits so down on liner ponds? In Holland they comprise about 90% of all pond builds.

Sorry Jane. Glasses fogged up. It was Tic Tok who mentioned the dimmer.

David,
The dimmer switch jane refered to can be used to regulate the speed of the pump as well as your lights~!
