| Hello everyone. I am in the process of building my new pond. I was given a pump for my skimmer and it came with the electrical wire cut off. I assume I need to wire it to a switch so my question is what exactly kind of switch would I get and where would I get it? My hubby can do all the work if I can just find a switch. Thank you anyone who can help. |

| OK thanks for the advice, I got the weatherproof box and switch. |
