    little tip . if you cant get the tubing on to the pump , boil some water and pour into a mug and place the tubing in the hot water for a few mins , it will become softer and easy to slide onto the pump , once cooled , it will become tight again and be a tight fit

    I stumbled across your bucket water fountain which is fantastic! I'm in East Texas, so we gets pretty hot and pretty dry in the summer. The other water fountain that I had, had to be filled twice a day this one I think will last all week. You are the greatest Robbie! Such a fantastic attitude, your character is wonderful, how refreshing is that! And such a creative lady, omigosh! that's beautiful! You have inspired me. Thank you, oh, and I have turn my older brother on to your bucket water Fountain who lives in Bakersfield California, too. "HOT", I'd say. He has birds that he feeds in his backyard, so he is very excited to get his Fountain going.

I didn’t know how to do either and was afraid to put in the effort and have it fail. Thanks so much for giving me the confidence to spoil my neighborhood hummies and plant some strawberries. You are a really great person. Thanks Robbie!

    Great Idea, Thank You For Your Time Putting This Video Together
    This was just the thing I was looking for. I used a Craftsman Square Stackable Bucket, which has a deeper top. I used a solar pump with a dry run protection, which turns off the pump if it does not sense water. This took all of 10 minutes to make, drill the holes, cut out the knotch and paint. I used only 8 small holes, and would advise anyone making this to make less holes, set up and watch it work. If it overflows, drill some more holes 2 at a time.

    I got the harder tubing-only kind I could find and put holes in the tube with my S I to make the spray perfect! You are such a blessing! Went to the pet store for seeds, too-thank you. I just could not get peace aboput gettinfg seed from the big bird seed companies. Now I am feeding more birds. Also-I made a fruit fly feeder from small buckets. I'd payed $25 for a feeder you put bananas into. The birds snack on the bugs from the banana.

    I was so excited by this idea, I got the stuff for it and less than a week after first watching this I now have one set up in my flower garden! We have a lot of big shade trees so it only runs from about 40 minutes after sunrise until about 3pm, but I've got another couple solar water pumps on the way so I can add a couple more for the other side of the yard :) Side note, Robbie, I love listening to you - it is just like one of the cousins at a Jennings family reunion here in Missouri :)

Even your bathroom was fabulous and very creative, with options to change any color as you wish. I'm using small knickknacks that I keep packed away with concrete used to form small bases and use the weight to hold them in place, they will be bird perches when finished. Thanks again, I'm already holding the neighbors back that want one designed for them to buy. Lol take care, much love and peace. Blessings. ☆☆☆☆☆

But I also love the idea of solar since I have small children and the idea of electric and water together freaks me out a bit...I can't wait to try this out! :)))) thanks for taking the time to posting a quality tutorial.
