View Full Version : Remote control for pump?

I wish to supply a pond pump from the electric supply in my shed but wish to
operate the pump from my house without having to run a cable to the house.
I have noticed that Wickes DIY chain sell two adapters (for internal use
though I can get round that probably) and a remote control that has a range
of 18 metres. Has anybody used these or another method to solve this
problem?
Regards
Dave

there are remote control electric plugs from Maplin and others. Not used
them. Best to leave pump on all the time
