Good point! I ran it for about 8hrs straight an it lost half of the tank. With that said I plan to silicone the pipe to the pump where it enters the tank. That will allow the tank to fill higher (after adjusting the water float). If I had to do it again I would buy a bigger tank or maybe even a liner. Cut the opening a little wider to collect the splash more. But this fountain will only run when we are out there which is a couple times a week right now. Didn't want to break the bank on a bigger tank for a part-time fountain :) Thanks for the comment make sure you subscribe to see more!
I like this a lot. I sub to another channel and used his videos to create a small waterfall feature in our yard (about 5 feet from top to bottom, ending with a 15ish inch drop into a small 20gal pond, right behind our campfire pit). Here's his design of the same idea: ruclips.net/video/GPhFZXCj8Ak/видео.html. I love water features, feel like they just add so much to a yard. Really makes it feel less like you're in the city and more like you're just out in the woods far away from the noise and smells. Which for us, that's kind of vital for the time being. (tangent: I mentioned elsewhere my health problems, so for now it's the best we got. We upgraded my truck and got a 35' camping trailer last summer so we could spend a year on the road (I work full-time remote), but with my health issues that plan is on hold. We eventually want to hit every state in the lower 48. Hoping to leave this year, but we don't know.) Anyway, love the water features. I'd like to do something similar to this on a smaller scale in our front somewhere, but I feel like my neighbors would hate it because of our location and loss of water (we're in Eagle Mountain, Ut. where we've been experiencing years and years of severe draught).
Looks fantastic. I would’ve like to see how you got the water to flow evenly from one end to the other, and how you installed the hose in the frame. I am trying to build one and working on that part.
I started with small holes at like 1/16. I think 17 holes. I set the pump at the lowest speed. Tested the flow wasn't happy so I turned off the pump and drilled the holes at 1/8. Once again not enough. So I did the same thing several times and settled on 1/8 holes. The pump is still at the lowest setting so I could go bigger or increase the pump flow but 17 holes at 1/8 holes gave me what I was looking for. I kept the flow on the pump at lowest so if my holes got to big while testing I could always increase the flow and not ruin the pipe already installed. Hope this helps. Please subscribe thanks! HPH
@@HomeProHero Roger that!! She’s a little fancy when she wants to be she’s pretty handy herself so if we don’t build it together she will just end doing it herself while I’m offshore at work
@@HomeProHero The volume is okay I think, I just really believe there shouldn't be anything but diegetic sounds in these types of videos, it's kind of distracting and doesn't add anything. Personally I'm not a fan of the music choice either though I couldn't really explain why. It's a little too chill maybe? Just not something you'd associate with playing with power tools. It's also very generic and obviously something from the free use sources. Even on the parts that are sped up I think the tool sounds work better, but you'd be coming pretty close to copying Diresta's style there. I personally don't see a problem with that, it's not like he owns the style or anything, but you might hear complaints if you did it too. It does work well though. Anyway it's your channel, do what you like. I can't speak for anybody but me, others may prefer the music.
I thought the music was fine. Grateful for something other than electric bass and drums playing like there’s a competition somewhere….it fit your project. Very nice water feature.

beautiful house and property you got there, sir.
Thanks for watching! Been a chore but it's getting there! Still have a ton to do! Be safe!
I like your aesthetic, it's a nice blend of east and west styles.
Thanks! I live in Indiana which is in the middle of those coasts :)
@@HomeProHero OMG. Love the comment!
Awesome build, ty for adding the deets on reddit
I get a lot of feedback on reddit great place to post projects such as this! TY
How often do you think you'll need refill the water? I imagine there's quite a bit of splash that's not recollected.

CAn't find your blue prints for the build to buy
Yea I haven't create because I didn't think there would be a demand. You are the 2nd now so I may need to reconsider :) Thx for watching
Do you build for others / or sale your fountains
I do not thanks for watching!
Excellent job!!!
Thank you!

It looks great to me!
Thanks for the feedback appreciate it! HPH
Absolutely beautiful place you have there and the water feature looks and sounds wonderful 👍😊
Turned out good and fits the space nicely! Now all of the landscaping has grown in it even looks better! Take care
Great job man! Thank you for your service!! I think I am inspired to do this a lil bigger in my garden. Thank you!
Thanks! Make sure you do a bigger tank. I only get about 6-8hrs of run time until the water is splashed out. Take care!
I love, because this way we can actually have a fountain/waterfall without risking the safety of little kids!
For sure! Wish my tank was a little bigger I get 4hrs out of it :)
It looks great, How much does it cost for this project?
I had about $140 in it which included a $20 drip irrigation float device to fill the tank automatically. Thanks for watching!

Settled on 1/4 inch holes. Sorry
O man you killing me! Got my wife wanting this fountain with a Koi pond 😂😂😂
Fountain is cool but if you do it go with a bigger tank! 7 gallon a little too small! Lol talk her into the garden candle (video) it's easier ;)
@@HomeProHero Roger that!! She’s a little fancy when she wants to be she’s pretty handy herself so if we don’t build it together she will just end doing it herself while I’m offshore at work
Love it! ❤
Very creative
Thx for watching! Still working fine!
Thanks for sharing!
Thx for watching!
Very nice work
Thx for watching. Pretty neat little fountain! Take care
Good vid, would be great if it didn't have that music though.
Really? Too loud or just corny :) I was told in other videos to add music :) Thanks for the feedback!

@@HomeProHero it's fine just lower/cut it when you are talking
