I will have a pump in the bottom and water will recirculate from the middle and lower bowls.
What product is out there that when applied will make this water tight

I'm making a DIY fountain from a 3 tier planter. I used silicone to make a water tight seal around the joints where each level secures together. However, it is NOT water tight and looses water.
What product is out there that when applied will make this water tight?
Thanks,

have you thought of flex seal? It’s in a handy spray can, I think they also have brush on and maybe tape, I have only used the spray, I love it
I would use a two part epoxy. Mix it per directions and pour some around the joints. It will seep into and fill the gaps. Also provede extra support. Flex Seal breaks down over time. Has been tested in different applications and does not last.

We have used the tape, spray and the caulking type stuff. It works and lasts and lasts. every time.
JB Weld waterproof putty!
I have used this on my toilet and water fountains! I will be using it again for my newest water fountain as soon as I get a longer tube!
you can go to a marine store and they have water proof caulking that will seal even under water.
Spray on Flex Seal paint. It comes in colors and clear
Marineland aquarium sealer may work well. But you will need to scrape any silicone sealer off first. I've found flex seal to work very well in leaky skylights and a rain barrel bottom.
How about spray foam insulation in a can?
Flex Seal
Although commercials a irritating this stuff works. I know because I've used it.
Hi Michelle! I use JB Weld Waterproof putty and it works great! Being a putty you can form it around the holes and tube. It will make a tight seal! Good luck and would love to see your finished work!
Try a silicone sealer used for aquariums.
