Hello Everyone:

My husband and l are landscaping our 1/2 acre of property in Alberta,
Canada. I am looking to introduce the sound of running water into the
back yard. I do not want a pond. I think l am looking for something
that l can install, like a fountain with a pump and maybe a bird bath.
Any ideas on websites where l can find some? I don't want to spend a
fortune. The sound of water, while sitting outside is a beautiful
thing.


Yes. We got a bird bath and had an old outdoor pump to keep the water
circulating. This also keeps mosquitoes from breeding. I went looking
for a bigger pump and found a local nursery that advertises water
features. You can pay anywhere from $15 to $700 depending on size.

One problem I noticed was the foam filter seems to get clogged up
easily, cutting down on the capacity. I'm thinking about just leaving
it out altogether.
