FOUNTAIN TUBING HELP

last year

last modified: last year

Thanks to this forum, I bought a new fountain pump to stave off algae on my outdoor fountain. I unplugged the pump from the tube. little did I know that there are TWO tubes. The blue one ( pictured below) came off from a shorter tube that goes up the center of the fountain. IT IS NOW UNREACHABLE through the center of the fountain. I have small hands but now the tube is really short and almost there is only one inch of tube, and it is way up there! And the fountain may weigh like 800 pounds, so it cannot be lifted nor moved! See below for photos. Any help would be appreciated. Hate to get rid of it. ( dont even know how i would transport it in the first place to get rid of it!)

Do you have landscapers/mowers that come to your house?

My landscapers come once a week and are happy to help if I have something heavy that I need to move.

Is the problem that you need a longer tube?

I'm still not sure I understand the problem. Is it possible to buy a new piece of hose and then use an adapter to connect the new longer hose to your blue hose? Adapter could look like this only I would get a plastic adapter.

I agree. You need people to lift it for you. Does the urn lift out of the basin?
