Just a message of thanks for your easy to understand explanation of the need for an RCD. With kind regards John (Croydon, Surrey, U.K.) 8/12/03 -----------------------------
Just a quickee to say thank you. I have found it very difficult to obtain
a
book in garden centres which would advise me on all the little details of
watercourse construction. Then I found your site with its down-to-earth
(no pun intended) advice and I was confident enough to make a start. 6/6/04 -----------------------------
After reading the tips on installing a pond I have
put in a pond and found it was not as difficult as first thought. thank
you from a grateful pond enthusiast.

11 08 04 -------------------------------- Dear Editor, I have just found your site on the internet and as I am about to embark on building a pond I thought I would write to say what a great site you have, explaining all the do’s and don’ts of building a pond. I am a complete amateur so I will certainly read your site before starting. Great site! Rita Kneen Luton Bedfordshire 24 / 08 /04 -------------------------------------------------------------------

do your fish / wild
Editor says: Peter would say that, considering he works for a dye supply company. There is no point in putting dye in a fish or wildlife pool (and as peter says "at recommended dosages") so what happens if you exceed the dose? and why bother in the first place? People with ponds etc want to see the fish / wildlife, not hide them with dye In short, never put dye in water where there is wild life. 29 10 06 Go on, be the first to send us a comment for 2007

Hi there,
I am
from Rotherham, UK and I am writing
because I'd really like to link to your site and
was wondering if you would consider a link exchange. I have a
site dedicated to building a pond which
the URL is:
http://wwwXXXXXXXco.uk/.
I have put the link to your site on the following page of my site http://www.XXXXXXco.uk/links/linkshome.htm Thanks in advance _____________________________________ 14 11 06 Today this one came in

Dear Webmaster, I guess some people are just stupid! why would we, a water gardening website want to link with some one who sells blinds for windows? This site sells NOTHING! _____________________________________ 15 02 08
Where does K.D. Live? do you know? what does the 2nd line down on the "contact us" page say? _____________________________________________ 01 02 11 I have visited your site which I feel is very informative.
I have searched through the net for a solar water pump, but the more I read, the more confused I become.
I own a +/- 2 acre field and have dug out a circular pond measuring approximately 5 feet deep with a diameter of approximately 12 feet. It is partly built of stone and party dug into solid bedrock. I have yet to plaster it through with water resistant cement/sealer. In the middle I thought of building a “pyramid” of rubble stone/rock as a feature, through which I intent passing a pipe which would then be connected to a pump to create my water feature. I also intend having a second pipe which would help in irrigate a small piece of land (there is no height issue here since the land is situated about 5 feet below the water level).
I have no electricity available and thought of purchasing a solar pump to satisfy my needs. My question is, what type of pump do I need? I thought that a rotary pump on dry land (as opposed to a submersible) would be more convenient so that servicing (when needed) would be simpler + I would be able to control the flow and switch from the pond to the irrigation system much simpler. What power solar panel would I need? I do not need to pump to work at night so a battery pack would not be needed. On the plus side, I live in “sunny” Malta so direct sunlight is not an issue – and even if it would be cloudy or overcast for a couple of days that would not be an issue either. Finally –would you be able to supply such a system, and what would it cost me (to include delivery to Malta.
Many thanks for your assistance.
Best regards name removed Don't see what's wrong? 1) Read the solar pumps page. 2) Question: what do I sell? Answer NOTHING!
