Hi andy. Yes mate we have. The cost will be just a couple of quid more a month. I had 2xpumps last pond. 2x uv last pond 2x air pumps last pond.thats another reason why I down sized the pump.from 14000 to 8000. It was to powerful. So I would have had to ball valve down. Which would have stressed the pump. Now all my valves will be fully open. Good point though mate. Best fred
 
Today sone pavers where laid. And we had a leak on four sided windows. I loved those photos. Ha ha.
One side of garden with pavers going down. Oh yeah.
