Have you searched the web using Google? I came across several sites that
sell them some time ago. I didn't book-mark them because I wasn't looking
for fountains. Be prepared, they were very expensive.

Carol that was a truely insightful post. I'm sure the original poster is
rejoicing in the knowledge.

Raffo: you can make a foutain out of an antique pot or pitcher, just
drill a small hole into the bottom, insert a hose from a small pump,
then suspend it over a larger pot. You can do the same old pump heads.

If you drill into a ceramic or clay pot, buy a few cheap ceramic tiles
and pots from a garden/hardware shop to practice on first, because it's
really easy to crack them. First drill a small pilot hole with a thin
drill bit, then work up to a larger bit.

How antique can a real fountain be? Small electric water pumps are a
relatively recent consumer item. Maybe 30 years?

Thank you. I'm sure he is as well. Some people don't think to search the
net for what they want. Especially newbies.

They were downhill from springs in old times. The water pressure worked the
fountain, not electric motors. A friend in Calcoon NY had such a fountain
run by a natural spring years ago. The water ran off into a hidden drain
pipe and on down to the Susquehanna river.

Hi Carol. Yes, I've searched the web, and I too came across a site that
selled them. I took didn't bookmark it, so that's why I thought I'd
give this newsgroup a try. Anyway... This group looks pretty cool...
I'll come here if I decide to build a pond in my back yard. Ponds are
great. Thanks all for your help, and may all your ponds be a success.
