#9 fountain finally works!


The water fountain in #9 pond is now working better than ever!  After rebuilding the entire motor and pump of the fountain, we had trouble getting any water to come out.  This was caused by a bad electrical connection underground.  The splice box, or underground container which holds the connected wires, was buried under the grass.  Because this box was not visible, and we had no idea where it could be, it took us a long time to find these connections.  Luckily once we found the problem, it was a cheap fix!  The connector used to connect the two wires was degraded.  All it took was some new connectors to fuse the wires and the fountain worked perfect!
