You probably found this video because you searched on How to Fix a Concrete Fountain. This was a Do It Yourself project I wanted to get done this Spring for my wife so that she could do the rest of the plantings in this area.
Last season we inherited this concrete three tiered concrete fountain and I know from experience that they can be a real pain. This season I was determined to solve the issue.

Great video. I’ve talked homeowners into going this route so they don’t have to constantly fill the fountain. I added a water supply and float.

What did you do to the basin to allow it to hold the weight of the fountain itself? That is like one of the most important parts of this project.
@PutsPonds
@PutsPonds Месяц назад
Good question… the answer is, nothing. The AquaBasin is strong enough to support the weight of the fountain. It is molded with several supports inside.

Did you have to seal between the tiers? The flow on one I am installing doesn't seem to work very well. 140GPH enough?
@PutsPonds
@PutsPonds 3 года назад
No I didn’t seal between the levels. You can use some pipe dope at the top so it won’t drain back down the opening. I will typically use 400-800 gph and ball valve back if need be... depending on the look I’m going for

@alpha-light2883 Год назад
I don’t have the skills for all that, I’m just trying to seal the original basin from leaking. I tried some foam spray I was using for another project, but it’s still leaking. I guess the foam wasn’t the way to go. I’ll have to chip it all out and try something else.
@PutsPonds
@PutsPonds Год назад
You may want to look into a product called Pond Armor. It’s a two-part epoxy coating, if the surface is prepped properly it can last for a long time. Comes in many colors including clear.

I have a 3 tier fountain that I got from Lowes about 10 years ago. It has been discontinued. It was made in China. It is aluminum and iron, I believe. I called or emailed the company because the rod that has the screw on places that held each tier from the 2nd to the 3rd one moving up and the screw on cap was worn out. Right now I have a piece of slightly bendable black pvc pipe, 3/8" I think, that is in it with the top tier on it. I will just run it down the center holes and then it has to be sat on top of the little pump outlet. The problem is that it is so heavy sitting it, that almost the smallest movement on it can knock the tube off of the pump outlet. Do you know of what I can use to keep from having to have all of that weight on top of the pump? It has to sit on it for the water to go up the tube. I have stayed in the hardware store for hours, several different times trying to figure something out. Even had different people from the plumbing dept. trying to figure something out. We haven't come up with anything. I saw something on a pump adaptor/fitting set that said it is a diverter. I am wondering if I can run a pipe from the fountain to lay on the bottom of the fountain (inside) from the side of the pump with a diverter to help take off some of the weight on top of the pump. Any ideas or suggestions?

You start with a preformed basin (link below)… add a pump inside the basin, then the feature on top…. Aquascape 78224 AquaBasin 45 Fountain and Water Feature Basin, 98 Gallon, Black www.amazon.com/dp/B06WGQ1XZ2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_RK5SFMENTFKJ4JTKJATX

The water should not go lower than the bottom basin. Pump speed is way to fast,,,then slow daon down and fine tune water falls with leveling each level,if needed,Vaseline on channels to make falls all even.food luck.this will reduce splash 95%.

Thanks for your input... I basically stacked each piece of the fountain then ran the piping straight down to the basin I sunk in the ground to the pump... (I did mention that I forgot to film the set up, sorry you missed that) The purpose of the video was to show how you can run your fountain longer by capturing all the water that splashes out...
