Trickle tower?
I made one using lava rock, pvc pipe and a bucket lid. Cut a hold in the center of the lid the size of the pvc pipe. Then I hot glued the lava rock around the outer edge of the bucket lid and slowly built up the edges as the glue sets. Mine is about 18" tall, your's can be whatever size you desire. I put the tower on a plastic crate with the pump inside with the pvc pipe going thru the crate and placed the tower on the crate. Then pour additional lava rock in the open area of the tower. My pvc rises slightly above the lava rock. Plug in the pump and your tower is working. And to reminiscence, John R. had something similar, if I remember right. Only he had hot glued the lava rock into a dome, ran a tube up the middle so the water just pour over it like a fountain and dripped back into the pond. Anyone know if his webpage is still up? ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: www.jjspond.us ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |
