We just got these photos in from our customer Janice who runs a popular fountain business down in Florida. Janice purchases our 10/3 & 10/4 SOOW Portable Cords for floating fountains her company installs in ponds.
Here is what Janice had to say:
“The SOOW Portable Cords run from the fountain in the water to the pond shore. Then the cables are run through in-ground conduit to a fountain control panel and connected to the panel to supply power to the fountain.”
