making a fountain woes!

17 years ago

I have bowls and pumps ready to make bubbler fountains. I was going to drill a hole in the bottom side of the bowls to insert the hose for the pump - but there is a big old plug that has to go through!! What do fountain builders do about this? Thank you for any info.

Did you ever figure out how to do this? How did it turn out?

No, actually, I have everything still ready to go. I bought a bunch of pumps only to find out later that they do make pumps where the cord plugs into the big plug so you don't have to make as big a hole! Didn't know that. Maybe I could sell my pumps on eBay and find someone who sells those pumps. Also finding the right bowl was tough. I have the right glue/sealer too. Thank you for asking! I thought it was weird to not get any answers. :o)

Whenever I do succeed in this project (soon!) - I'll post a picture.
