How to Build a Two-Tier Fountain

Is the caulk safe for plants and/or fish?

Won't it run dry ? How do u refill,do u have to disassemble it?

What size is the pump?

Nice and simple. Does the pump cord plugged into electric cord to operate or was it a solar energy?

love my water fountain...easy todo

Where the F that saucer come from??

I don't think that much weight on the pump cable is going to do it any good. Probably worth cutting a notch into the plastic for the cable to go through - if it doesn't become too weak.

Hi.. I have a cooler pump.. 18w-20w. Is this ok for the fountain?? Can I make 3 steps with that??

Beautiful thank u

How does the water make it back to the bottom planter to be recirculated?

Where did you get the pump with long tube ?

Where did you get the plastic to rest the second pot on?

Oops! bathtub plugs used in bottom of 1st pot will mildew & deteriorated fast. What's something else that can work to plug up holes? Thanks.

lol. Umm. Estimated cost is "Under $500"... You can buy the nicest fountain you can find in a garden center for that much... And its not gonna be two pots.

Easiest diy video I’ve seen! Definitely trying! Thank you !!

what is the exact pump you used in this video?

BUY IT

So Cute!

Can you purchase an extension pipe or tube if you wanted to add a 3rd smaller pot on top to make the fountain even taller?

Love the idea, thanks

Nice project - but MAJOR problem & safety issue with placing all that weight on the electrical cord. Need to do a cut out in that tray.

What’s with all this profanity in this video’s

Can this project be done with a solar pump?

Oh wow this is great of course i will try it

We did this, then less than a year later, it is cracked and leaking??

This is the easiest one I have ever seen.

Looks easy.

This has been the easiest video on how to create a water fountain thanks i will try it@

How does the water recycle?... you need a few more holes on your tray.🤔

Nice video. But I would recommend putting your pump lower in the bottom planter.

What are the sizes of the pots used?

What is the power or wattage of the pump?

It’s fun to make and later on the bubbling water is incredibly relaxing!

This does not work. We bought everything at Lowe’s to do this project for our back patio. Between the pots, pump, rocks and other materials it’s well over $200. The main problem is the weight of the water in the larger planter and being able to seal it. Forget the plugs and caulk. I’ve tried cement, flex seal, and combinations of both and the water finds a way out of the bottom of the pot. The next and last thing I’ll try to do is finding a water tight container that won’t leak and can hold the weight of the pump and second container. This not as “easy” as it seems.

There is no way for this fountain to recirculate. I believe you left out the step to drill holes in that plastic tray so the water could get into the bottom planter and recirculate back up. And definitely too much weight in the top pot filled with rocks sitting on a plastic tray.

Awesome!!! Easy!!!

Great but I think the tray needs a few more small holes to allow for better drainage into the containment vessel besides the central one. An easier and more reliable waterproofing would be to use a piece of pond liner to waterproof the entire large vessel. Use pieces of styrofoam foam or foam insulation in the top pot so that you only need one layer of rock. This is too much weight in the top pot. Finally, the pump should be lower in the pot to avoid accidentally running dry, and it should be strong enough to raise water to the higher level.

That’s not a fountain lol 😂

Nah

The inside of the pots need to be sealed. That should prolong the life of the fountain. Making one currently. But other videos seem to skip that important step...🤔

HOW TO YOU REFILL THE WATER IF YOU CAN LIFT THE TOP POT??

Superb from Karnataka India

Easy and simple

It's caulk not cock but thank you, this is a cool fountain and I want to try it

Do you put holes in the saucer for the water to recirculate

How far is the pump from the top of the first pot

You guys missed a step!

What size pump is recommended for a project like this?

After having owned a water fountain for a couple of years, one of the most important aspects to consider is how to clean it. Algae builds up over time - even if you use an algaecide. It has to be cleaned regularly and the water needs to be replaced. While this design looks good, I can imagine those rocks will be full of algae in no time and will be difficult to clean. The whole thing needs to be taken apart, cleaned and flushed and then start over with new water. I'm still looking for a DIY solution that's easier to keep clean.

I dk i did mine well with a solar pump and it works great..
