Actually i have seen them JUST below the surface with no bell, etc,
and it looks kinda cool.

I would LOVE to have something similar to this:

but not sure if that is possible with my setup.

Take the fountain part of the pump to any pond store and they should be able
to fix you up. I think they all use standard size tubing into the spitter
portion.

LN,

I missed your original post, but I have a few suggestions, as I know what
it's like not to have a "local pond store" (see my posts in another thread).

If there's a Sam's Club near you (much more likely than a pond store, IMHO),
take another look at the brands sold there.

What brand is your pump? (There should be a label on it somewhere.) Try
checking for the website of the manufacturer; you should be able to find the
dimensions of your pump there.

In my teeny water garden, I have a Little Giant pump; I recently bought
replacement "tube-thingy" at Lowes' Home Center, complete with 3 heads; I
assume that Home Depot would sell the same.

As for the boredom -- do you have any fish in your pond? There's a
*whole* lot more to think about if you have fish and/or plants!!! (OTOH,
it's a lot easier to bring in a pump in NH winter than drain pond & bring in
fish, etc.)
