Okay, so this fountain I got at spencers… It has a sculpture of a dragon climbing around a castle and below it there is this well-like think that holds an acrylic ball, and below that there is a basin filled with water. There’s a pump and an LED light that changes color. What happens is the light lights up the acrylic ball which is on a well thats attached to the pump, this cushions the ball on water as a seperate tube leads from the pump to some where throughout the dragon, this makes water leak out of the dragons mouth to cause the ball to spin. I’m telling you all this so you know EXACTLY which one I have, I don’t know if you shop at spencers, but they have ALOT of dragon stuff, especially fountains. Okay now that that’s down, to the central question(s)… This fountain has one more cool feature, it has a little fogging mechanism. I’m not too sure how it worked, I’m using past tense since it stopped, but my questions are;
1. How does this create fog?
2. How do i fix this fogging effect?
3. Does anyone have any additional cleaning advice for these types of fountains?
Sorry this is so long, I really wish there was a website for these things. Thank you for your responses. ^_^

I have a medium sized fountain that stands in the lobby of my wellness center. The water pours out of a spout into a small reservoir of water, which then pours into a larger reservoir. My problem is that the water splashes all over the floor because of the rate at which it is flowing and pouring into itself. I have the pump on the lowest setting, but still it makes a mess, and is ruining the floor (and its very noisy – not the pump, but the water itself).
Does anyone with fountain experience have any ideas for how I can prevent this obnoxious splashing? The whole idea of the fountain was to provide a tranquil waiting area for my clients before they receive their massage treatments.
The pump that’s in there right now is a Beckett M60A. So, can I use a slower pump? And if not, are there any tricks to slowing down the flow otherwise?

I use a little fountain pump to remove most of the water. When I get down to the last half inch remaining,there isn’t enough water to reach the suction inlet on pump. That’s still a lot of weight when you try to remove the cover. Which is too heavy for me to pull off.

I have a beercooler, and is basically a refrigeration unit designed to extract heat from an input and outlet pipe, and transfer this to a neutral liquid, which is pumped around another looped radiator -with a fan unit on it. Thus – the heat is removed from the beer, and ouputed into the room.
Any suggestions for aplication, siting etc would be useful.
Maybe radiators painted black outdors, and a small solar fountain pump to circulate the water ?

I have a fountain type garden pond pump for my fish. It keeps blocking up with water snails and general stuff, how can I stop this?

We have a little fountain (200 l) which pumps the water permanently through three stones. I have to brush the stones twice the week otherwise they get green and look terrible. Has anyone an idea how I can prevent that the stones get green?

On the vets recommendation that he drink more water I purchased a drinking fountain. These work with an aquarium pump to make a mini fountain – the same effect as a running tap which cats like to drink from – but it has been on the floor for nearly 3 weeks and my cat has shown no interest whatsover in drinking from it – any ideas?

I am making a 25-30 gallon container water garden with a couple goldfish. I would like to have a filter/fountain in it, but where it will be is 50′ from the closest electrical outlet. A solar fountain is out of budget, so I would like to run an outdoor extension cord under the ground. Years ago, my Dad ran two 100′ unprotected outdoor cords between two houses and left it there for about 5 years without problems. But my situation is a little different. It will be underground, and it will be running almost constantly. Is this feasible? If so, how can I protect the plug at the pump? Electrical tape?
Thanks!

I have an outdoor water fountain on my front porch.wondering if I have to turn off the water pump and empty the water out..before it get to the freezing point this winter…what shall I do? Or can I keep it running during the winter season?..Do I need to bring it inside?Thank-you..enjoy your day..
