Not a pond but a water feature question
Posted: Apr 20, 2005 4:34 pm
Hi all - I'm making my first attempt at adding a water feature to my garden and things are going south fast... I need you help please...
The idea was to place an "old" urn over a sunken tub filled with rocks abd have the water spill out of the container, down the sides and into the hidden basin where the pump was hidden. Well I'm having a heck of a time hooking the pump to the piping that needs to come up thru the bottom of my container. I bought an adapter kit (with spray heads) for the pump but it the pieces just don't seem to make a good seal with the pump. I thought perhaps a piece of 3/4 copper pipe but still need some sort of adapter to make a good seal. Anyone have any good tricks for this or a source for fittings of this nature? would I be better off with flexible hosing going through a rigid "sleeve"
?
