The power is supplied from a GFCI outlet mounted on the utility pole. I decided to bury 2" diameter PVC pipe to route the power cord. The skimmer and filter falls use a 1-1/4" water line:
You can see where I plan on putting the falls,I've temporarily placed the filter falls container in the approximate location.
The trench is currently abou 6" deep. I'm thinking to place the PVC electrical conduit and water line side-by-side in the bottom of the trench. I'm also thinking to lay left over flagstones over the backfilled trench, like stepping stones to the top of the falls, so I won't accidentally run the cultivator over it in future plantings. Should I take it any deeper?
Also, insured that there is a slight slope so any water will run back into the pond if the pump stops.
