Help needed on how to put together a water feature
I am not confident in my skill or knowledge and would appreciate any helpful hints or ideas to make the job easier---my husband said I am on my own with this one.

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Aug 04, 2014Hey there Dee what a great score!!! that is my pump you have in the picture. I can guide you and it is a project you can do with him...go buy a stepping stone if you do not already for the base as I have done with mine. You will need to buy a masonry bit and screws to attach the pump to the concrete stepping stone. Ask the associates at your local home store to help on this one from the pic you need 3 or 4 masonry screws. You will need to buy a pump that will push the water up through the fountain-something around 80 gph. then you need a hose which is in the plumbing dept of your home store that will fit on the pump and how every many feet you will need to run the pump from the pond or reservoir you are using (for that pump you have about 5' is what i would get and it is so cheap). all i did was fish the hose up through the pump and at the edge of the spout- it rests inside. any more questions? just post it on here and i will get back to youHelpful Reply

Lillian Harris on Aug 04, 2014I had a pump like yours hooked up to run in a whiskey barrel. I loved it. It sat on our deck. Hobby Lobby or Michaels should sell the motor set up. I think I got mine at Hobby Lobby.Helpful Reply
