Pulling up an old thread. It sounds like well is dedicated to the pond and not a house. If so, bury 2"-3" pvc pipe from the well to the pond and put the well on a well pump timer(=or<40amp). The garden hose and hose timer is too restrictive. We use these at the ranch for stock tank dedicated well pumps.

For greater amperage pumps you would need a contactor/magnetic motor starter.
