A few houses ago I dug and built a concrete koi pond. It was next to my breakfast nook and was cool to watch the koi while eating.

This house has so many fruit trees I can't fit a pond but I had an unused plastic wine barrel planter so I sunk it in the ground and threw in some comets.

It looks pretty good but I like the sounds of running water and I am sure the aeration would be better for the fish.

My Q is... does anyone here have a pond with a solar powered fountain? I am looking at some with battery backup but wonder how well they work and hold up.
