Just buy a smaller pump and you won’t have to destroy the aesthetic of the natural clay fountain and pebbles by sticking a stark white plastic PVC elbow on top. My small pump has a tiny sliding switch on the side to decrease the rate of flow.
I love this fountain. It’s so clever yet not overly complicated to create. If I make one I would break a terra cotta pot and find a piece that is large enough to make the water flow that direction. Then I’d glue it to the top saucer instead of the pipe. I absolutely LOVE this fountain Well done!
What a fantastic clever inspirational video you've made! I have a stockpile of clay pots I've collected from yard sales, & so on over the years. Mine of course will be a little different because I have different pots but you really gave me a fantastic start. I love that you showed how to carve small areas in clay pots without the use of a power type tool. That was so nifty to learn. Thank you, thank you so much! You rock :)
I would drill bigger notches to keep the saucers from overflowing, and maybe attach some spouts to direct the flow of water, then arrange the pots before adding in the pebbles. This would be an amazing bird bath.
PVC pipe really tops it off with the looks, its amazing! We really need more PVC piping as staples of design and decor for our greatest fountains in Europe.
I love this what a beautiful idea! It makes s really nice sound...for anyone that doesnt like the pvs pipe paint it a different color...there is a paint for everything nowadays!
you probably wouldn't need any kind of PVC pipe if you just tilted the saucers a little and put a little stone in them creating a bit of a "trench" so to speak. and by tilting all of them it would appear as if it was meant to be that way. Definitely saving this idea so that I can put it with my water feature this summer!
If you use an adjustable pump you can turn the flow down a little and you won’t have to stick that elbow in there. I have made one of these before.. Nice fountain.
Just curious on the length of time to soak the pots & saucers for in the water. Thanks. Love this idea of how to make a beautiful & inexpensive fountain.🌼🐦🌸💖
This is a simple 12v water pump available in the market. The pump i used has a high pressure. I recommend u to use small pump which should be ~ 12V , 5W , 100 lit/h.
Hello, that's a great fountain! Regarding the size of the saucers (9, 6, 4 inch etc) Are these sizes of the base width or the top width of the saucers?
Great idea and thank you for the tutorial. I envision mine with a pretty pouring pitcher in place of the PVC. Just use your imagination and make it your own peeps. ;)
Thank you very much & Yes it can be done with solar too. I have also made one with solar , chk it out 👉 ruclips.net/video/E6zRE9L57Jk/видео.html. Don’t forget to subscribe and share with your friends and family :)
Great idea! The video is done so well showing every step with clear instructions too... I’ve seen comments about the elbow PVC piece not the solution for directing the flow and I agree but many solutions offered. Also I’m sure there is a solution for eliminating the foam. What causes it?
Wish I would have seen this a few years ago, I struggled with making a small fountain and never quite succeeded. This is so pretty and simple. May try one for my balcony. Tks.
What a super idea I just love it. Only one small problem it’s hard to find a terra cotta base that u used this large to hold all the pots at least where I live. I’m gonna keep my eye out for them cuz this such a beautiful fountain n really fairly easy to make n I’ve got the tools just need to find the big big bottom saucer. Thanks for sharing ♥️
fantastic....i just love this....you could also use bigger stones and line up for a directional flow...so the theme is consistant...but this is beautiful....thank you for sharing
Great idea. Good to know about soaking the pots prior to drilling and filing. Like that this fountain makes enough sound to drown out unwanted background noise. Good job.
I'd use a fat flexi straw pushed into the pvc (that's what I use instead of tubing) they come in many colors. Flex in the direction you want. Or even touch with hot glue gun to warm enough to make your angle ... Put a few small stones in the saucers ... set a flatter one on them slightly angled over the PVC pipe to direct your water. Sorry but I too agree the bright white takes away from an overall awesome design. Really cute, fast fountain!
Serene loud sound of splashing water is excellent to mask street noise pollution. So inexpensive that I will make 4 of them for quadraphonic sound in my garden area surrounding the gazebo!
Wonderful video and easy instructions. One question though - how much GPG should the fountain pump have? Is 660 GPG minimum for to build this fountain?
@@DIYStories I did, keep doing good work. One more question, should I coat the pots with any anti fungal agents? For long term does it stay as it is with flowing water?
Great idea, but here is some conservative criticism. Sand and spray paint the PVC pipe the same color. Also you may want to wash the rocks first to keep the water clear and foam free.
very nice! I did a similar thing with just a wide saucer, a slightly narrower pot and a wide shallow dish, all terra cotta. They are heavy enough that I just stacked them and use a solar fountain that floats in the bath. To clean I simply sweep out the water and replace.
Set the whole thing on a large, deep pot that is full of water and put the pump in the bottom of the deep pot. The original bottom pan should then have drainage holes added in the center to drain its water back into the big deep pot. The deep pot will be able to hold many gallons of water, and give you weeks of service before needing a refill. Also, consider a solar pump that way you are not tethered to a location near an electric outlet nor a visible cord that is a trip hazard.
💐Wow !!! This is something dummy me could actually do !! Awesome !! I’ve seen so many and I get lost halfway through video but this is easy .. I have one question 🙋♀️- is it a solar fountain ⛲️? Oh ! You have all the tools listed above 👆 Thank you 8/28/22💐
Why not paint everything different colors with non toxic outdoor paint. It would give a nice focal point in a garden and make a great bird bath. I think hummingbirds would like red included. Maybe paint the pots and saucers white and stencil vines and flowers. It would have another completely different look.
OMGosh! Can't anyone just enjoy it without having to criticize these days? I agree the PVC pipe elbow could be painted a terra cotta color to match, but just because he didn't show that, doesn't mean one can't incorporate that if they want--but lose the whining and b#tching about it, and making yourself out to be so much more clever. You're not. He didn't HAVE to make the video...and you didn't have to watch it. What a bunch of ingrates! As my folks used to say: "If you can't say anything nice, ... don't say anything at all."
Amen! These videos are intended to be inspiration. If you can't think past copycatting then the problem is you.. not the creator of the video. He thankful for the ideas and tips provided then take those and go do your own thing! If you don't like the video.. like my grandmum always said.. it's better to say nothing than to open your mouth and prove your ugly side.
Love it. Just wondered about the bubbles. And a thought one might have a small overturned terracotta pot with an opening in the side you want the water to flow out of with a rock to slow the water. Plug the opening in the bottom of the overturned pot (now on the top). Set up a mossy plant in another pot on that last pot at the top. All that said. Yours looks great. good job.
Nice fountain with common garden items and small effort. *For safety sake glue three small rocks to the bottom lip of your clay pot holding the pump to limit abrasion of the cord.* But your fountain could be so much more beautiful with only minor tweaks. The pump is overpowering the fountain. - Turn down flow adjustment for a slow trickle instead of a high flow waterfall. - Also if you leave a short nub of pipe in the top dish you can adapt a fountain top with decorative flow like a clear ball. With slow flow and decorative water outlet on top you no longer need the White PVC. Now I want to go out and make one, but I have so many other things to do.
Make a notch in the rim of the first pot to accommodate the pump cord. No need to epoxy the pvc to the saucer. For a less overwhelming flow use a smaller pump, adjust the pump’s flow controller or use a smaller diameter pvc or plastic tubing . The PVC elbow kinda ruins the lovely look of the pottery and isn’t really necessary. It’s nice to see the water just bubble up out of its opening. Also, notches are easy to make with a Dremal fitted with a grinder/sander bit.

The pump should have an adjustable flow. If not could just use stones on the top.
Or use some decor on top to match...good grief...
paint or decorate the PVC elbow... that is what I would do, if it was my only option. Or, use a coffee mug with holes drilled in it. might look fun.
Should have put the stones in last.
Should paint the pvc. Better aesthetic.

Where did you buy the teracotta's from
hi thanks for watching ! you can buy such terracotta's from a big nursery store near you ...
I love this Water Fountain. You are Very Creative👍
Thanks :)
Agreed. I feel like there must be a good way to cut into a pot a tilt it so it covers either the PVC bend or get rid of that altogether.
🙄
I'm going to make this! But why the holes in the smaller pots? It does not seem like they do anything?
Thanks for watching
This is really nice. Thank you for sharing. Where did you buy your clay pots and saucers?
Try Home Deport or Lowes or maybe thrift stores.
Thanks for watching . you can find them in a plant nursery or home depot store online.
I really like this project up to the point of using the elbow PVC pipe to direct water flow. Is there a more decorative way of doing this?
Why not paint everything different colors with non toxic outdoor paint. It would give a nice focal point in a garden and make a great bird bath. I think hummingbirds would like red included. Maybe paint the pots and saucers white and stencil vines and flowers. It would have another completely different look.

@@DIYStories how Long U Made Ig Soak For
Use smaller water pump....water overflows to much his was to big for his project & u won't need to redirect water due to low flow.
That’s awesome
Thank you
I love creative people :)
Thanks
Nice fountain with common garden items and small effort.
*For safety sake glue three small rocks to the bottom lip of your clay pot holding the pump to limit abrasion of the cord.*
But your fountain could be so much more beautiful with only minor tweaks. The pump is overpowering the fountain.
- Turn down flow adjustment for a slow trickle instead of a high flow waterfall.
- Also if you leave a short nub of pipe in the top dish you can adapt a fountain top with decorative flow like a clear ball. With slow flow and decorative water outlet on top you no longer need the White PVC.
Now I want to go out and make one, but I have so many other things to do.
U r right 👍 thanks
Can you put link to the pump your using? Also how long did the pump last ?
well you can find water pumps at any aquarium shop. i used simple aquarium water pump.
Not bad, but black ABS pipe would look better. Both kinds come in smaller diameter sizes
