Yes - in effect the bottom pond needs to be big enough to allow water to be pumped from it, fill all the pipework plus any filter and increase the upper pond level by an amount to allow it to then overflow - you will only increase the upper pond depth by 1/4" - 1/2" I would guess unless you use...

Yes - its overheat stat has failed a couple of times in its life so far. In 2001 it had a replacement gas valve as pilot light kept going out intermittently, after engineer had replaced thermocouple, and overheat stat. In recent years its only needed the occasional thermocouple when serviced /...

Doing a few quick average calculations based on the dimensions supplied the upper pond will contain about 50 gallons of water, and to get a waterfall flowing across a 19" gap will need a minimum flow rate of 1000GPH - ignoring any height difference between ponds or pipework restrictions. The...

Thanks Tony, FiremanT and Jackrae The boiler is working fine at the moment and we are happy with it, and now I know parts are still available, replacement is no longer a major issue. What would be a problem is if it failed in mid winter and then having to replace boiler due to no parts being...

If the fitting on the tap is firm then try swapping the "grey nipple" on the reel with the Yellow one on the tap (if the thread part is the same size) - if its a non moving joint it may well stay on. It shouldn't make any difference but there may well be tolerances in manufacture between items...

I had a similar issue with a Hozelock watering lance - brass fittings would hold on it without problem but the plastic connections would blow off either when the lance was turned off or turned down so the pressure in the pipe was higher. It was caused by the bit which sticks out of the lance...
