Pump suggestions for fountain
I have a swimming pool filter that is driving me crazy to come up with
something to make out of it. I finally decided to use it as a base for a floating / submerged support for a fountain in the middle of my pond. Plan is to use a submersible pump, mounted to a plate attached on top of this large roundish shaped filter container that will be installed where the normal flush, backwash etc valve is normally found. Two or three eye bolts near the bottom on the sides to moor it from three or so directions, with cables attached to concrete block anchors on pond bottom. I plan on ballasting this filter assembly so it will float with the pump side up, but still able to be kept submerged under the waters surface to allow for when water level drops. Its a 1 acre pond so I need something with at least a 100 foot or so lead or capability to extend power lead. Price of a commercial fountain kit is out of the question, due to prices, and believe one can be made with a decent submersible. Would like a lot of flow for a decent fountain and quanity of water (not necesarily for display as much as for aeration and keeping floatsum off the ponds surface. Basically all I am going to need is a pump, the rest I can make myself such as the fountain heads etc. Any suggestions appreciated Visit my website: http://www.frugalmachinist.com Opinions expressed are those of my wife, I had no input whatsoever.
