Pond help

What you need to do is run some 3 core SWA from the C/U / fuse board to a outside switch panel like this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toggle-Sw...Lighting&var=610206316885&hash=item48585a3cd1

Also it needs to be RCD/RCBO protected.

Will trace where the taped up wire goes and try and work out how it was originally wired. There must be a hole in the wall somewhere. Someone's spent time/money ripping it all out, god knows why

If it was wired in flex it was wired up wrong and they could of ripped it out due to not wanting it coming up when selling the house.

the person who did the pond electrics I inherited seemed to think that a supermarket carrier bag has an IP rating

It does.

Only problem is it's IP00.

I think the flex is from the pump/filter. I also found some ducting that has been cut.

As someone said previously, agents or surveyor recommended removal

Looks to me the owner has had koi in the pond at some point. There are bracket hooks going around the outside of the pond, this would have had a wire on it to stop herons, serious koi keepers do this, I have in the past.


If there is a filter present, it would need a good clean, and the pond emptying if you want to introduce fish into it.

Could be a really nice pond if looked after.

Deffo drain it. You need to start again.

Don't bother your ass or money on combination uv/filter. Both essential, but buy separately.
