What Are Water Pumps Made Off?

a small one like for a fountain

What’s the best tool or method? It is on the outside of a garage which is not drywalled or insulated, but of course has vinyl siding on the outside. This is for a small pump for a water fountain. I am OK on the wiring part of it, just need advice on cutting the hole though the wood (particle board, naturally), and the vinyl and have good looking results. I do have access to a “sawzall” at work, but am worried about what that might do to the siding.

Making A Raining Oil Fountain?

I want to make a raining oil fountain, the kind with the strings and the oil drips down from it to look as though its slowly raining. would i use a normal table top water pump? What are other things I would have to take into consideration with the materials/paint that i would use.
I tried to google raining oil fountain, or oil fountains in general but don’t come up with any results, if someone could give me the word to google that would be fine too

Im working on a project and i need an insulator that can withstand high temperatures. I have tried using aluminum foil to at least help a little bit, but the propane burner is hot enough to turn the aluminum into boxite(or something like that) it gets all discolored and crumbly. It has to be decently flexible and somewhat durable. the progect has a coper tubing coil surounded by a steel case i made out of a paint can, I have a fountain pump runing water through the tubing so i can heat the water. Unfortunatly there are still gaps between the burner and the case. I need something that will fit into the gaps and can wrap around the case to keep the heat in. the burner runs very hot but i dont know how hot it acutaly is. any ideas would be very helpful.. Thank you

What Non-toxic Way Could I Color Water White?

I am using an old milk can as a water fountain and want it to look like milk is spilling out of the can continuously, but the substance used to color the water can not be thick to clog a circulation pump and it needs to be non-toxic incase the children get into it becouse it will be at ground level.

the pond is a few months old, size about 8 foot by 4 foot, 2 foot deep. the pump is both fountain and waterfall and on all the time. I have a lily in and a small plant from a local stream. no expensive fish, just a goldfish which i hope to add about 3 more to. water very cloudy, can’t see much below surface.

Water Pump Questions?

I’m looking to build a fountain to dispense Wine. For which, I’ll need a pump. I’m thinking submersible aquarium pump.
I’m concerned about after tastes, and general safety of this venture.
Can you drink water that’s been run through an aquarium pump?
Would alcohol be any different?
Is there a better choice? What would it be?

How Does The Water Fountain Works?

how the pump work,how does it do it,

ok, i am making a water fountain for my ecology class (its an end of the year project for the teacher) anywho i will be using atleast and most likly 2 pumps to transfer water to the next stage
the stages will be
evaporation: water in an aluminum tray being pumped up to a make shift cloud
condensation: this will be a single cloud that will contain a metal fliter that will give the illusion of rain when water passes through it (please note i have a question about this part later also)
and then run off: a bucket that contains water provided by the “rain” stage will be pumped up into a make shift mountain which will flow over the edge down the side of the mountain looking like a river flowing down. this water/stream will lead back into the aluminum tray to start the cycle again.
now heres my main question(s):
i was wondering what would be the best WATERPROOF material to use inorder to make the outer layer of the mountain? i am using foam board instilation for th inner layer of the mountain to make the shape
question 2
what would be the best way to go about making he rain cloud i have aready decided to have it be suspended via plastic/metal pipe holding it up? im really more interested on how to setup the filter then actually making the cload but any tips will be appreciated
*please note that this is an art project so it will be givin a name and pictures will most likly taken for evidence
ty for all contributions
