Sall20, make sure if you do get a line put in, that it is brand new wire(not used) and has an extra protective sleeve around it. I kept blowing my switches and later found out I had a short in my line that triggered the safety from the ground getting wet.
My husband is always trying to save a buck and has yet to get the true grasp of you get what you pay for.
I agree that running water in the garden really does add a lot, not just wildlife, but a feeling of peace and life for me. My ponds are currently not running and I hope to have that fixed soon.
