Water features
Hello
I've recently moved into a newly built house and apart from one little tree the garden is empty. All my past houses have had mature gardens so i have never had to do much with them. I've been playing around with a few ideas and I quite like the idea of a water feature of some kind. I'm not sure a pond will be good as I have a young daughter. So I was thinking along the lines of a fountain of some sort. Does anyone know how these things work? I know they work using pumps are these pumps plugged into the main electric supply? Are they expensive to run? I've tried to find this info out from the internet, but the companie websites are more concerned with getting them installed than actually telling you how they function. Any help gratefully received. Jim |

I'm sure that someone from the Austin Pond Society would have the information about power supply that you need (and yes, I realize that you're interested in a fountain, but the society members are a fount(ain) of information) (sorry, but I couldn't resist the pun) :-) http://www.austinpondsociety.org/ Seriously, I suspect that a pump for a good-sized fountain would have quite a few points in common with a recirculating pump for a pond or similar water feature. |
