I think it's good you're waiting till the morning. You can rest a bit and think about it over night. Whew....what a day!!

addy, this is similar to the one I use;

you can test out how low the float has to hang in the water before cutting off the pump and then, adjust for the level you want. I just tie it back up on the bank.

Not what I had planned, we have a leaking window I was working on, it took back seat to the pond leaking!

When we travel I usually dial in once a day just to do a quick glance at the bees and pond, certain views tell you a lot in seconds.

Update:

The pond is now around 3 times bigger. Used all the room I had.

Darn heavy epdm, much prefer my ppl liner, but didn't want to wait for it to be shipped.
This one worked a 10x15, used the width, had to cut off some of the length.

Got the edges rocked.

Put the lilies, tads, critters back into the pond

Whew tired!

We had flooding rains last night addy ,i think you needed it .My pond was down over 8 inch's and is no full to over flowing 2 nights in a row of heavy rains and love it ,pulling weeds is so easy.I am surprised you lowes handles epdm as ours here only carry pvc .

I think those float switch's are just made to make a sump pump go on and would they work the reverse way .Would they make a pump go off ?

Looks like it's been there for years! Good job!

thanks all the frogs are happy. I put one of the purple lilies in it. See how it does with the slow flowing warmer water. It has 4 buds on it right now.

You deserve a nice hot bath and a good night's sleep!
