I am going to install my own little waterfall and stream that flows under my patio and into a little pond. Do I need to calculate the amount of water in gallons in the stream and pond and get a pump that will move that much water in an hour? The water fall will be small and trickling so do I need to do anything, equipment wise, for it? It will be about 2.5 feet high trickling down over several rocks. The pond will be about 16-20 feet from the waterfall. Will I need anything more to compensate for the extra distance? I have a regular outdoor outlet 10 feet from the source. Do I need to do special wiring or can I simply plug the pump in there? I know you all stress the importance of a professional installing it but does this case merit any special hookup? Any other thoughts I need to think of while doing this?<p>----------<br>Integrated Landscape Solutions<br>Lexington, KY
