probably will when the rains return and the water table rises
i've got all the gubbins to run two systems when i can get round to it, one to water the garden and another separate fixed feed into the pond that ends with a ballcock valve that tops the pond up when the level dips.
the beauty of the model of pump i got is that it auto shuts off when there is no draw from either system and kicks in when the watering system is turned on and'or the pond ballcock drops and the vallve opens up. it also shuts-off if the water level in the well gets too low, so it all looks after itself.
long-term i plan to have a crack at installing a pop up sprinkler system in the lawn. 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦
