Pump House

I use a plastic tub now, but if i could have a below ground and below water level pump, my priming worries would be over. I have looked in vain for a suitable housing. All those pipes and fittings scare me too.
Any ideas?

If you only had a aerial view of your pond, Jerry. Has it got a drain in the bottom or would it have to be retro fitted? Maybe a drawing of what you have with some pics.

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.

Jerry,
You need to get Greg Bickals Cd ($10) and build a skimmer. Then run a pipe from the skimmer to a sump where your pump will be below pond level. Priming problem solved.
