Bob,Nick and Others:
Question.....looking to run electricity to my lake some 125' away from the house. My goal is to:
1. Buy a pump to move water up approx. 14' of head into a small overflow pond and waterfall, falling into 2-3 more lined koi/goldfish ponds up beside the house and back some 300' of streambeds into the 19 ac. lake again in a "U" shape design moving approx. 5000 gal/hour or more. Should I buy a 220 volt pump and wire or use a 110 volt pump remembering the factoring of energy efficiency over a period of time and pay back? Is 5000 gal/hr a very high water flow or not. Looking for a medium movement of water thru out the watercourse but not a rushing river.
2. Buying a fountain and lighting system for the lake that would move water up into the air some 10-12' and 20' plus feet in diameter. Should this also be a 220 volt motor and can I have a 220 recepticle on a post to meet my goals in question 1 and 2????? Thank's for your thoughts and input on my future project.
