I need help! Ok so we spent about a total of $150 for this solar powered buddha. We know it only operates if it’s in FULL DIRECT SUNLIGHT. We got it in full sunlight, but the fountain only sprayed the water 1-2 inches! I’m thinking it’s because the motor or panel sucks. Is there a way to improve it? (we don’t feel like spending over $30 to fix)

There is a pump with a fountain. I think I am missing parts but don’t know what to order as I don’t understand the workings of the 2 tier pond. I don’t know how to pump the water back to the top tier so it can flow over the rocks to the bottom. The tubing seems to be cemented in also. Thank You

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.

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.

The fountain is in open directly under sun. It is diameter of 6 feet. Water is circulated through a immersed motor pump

The sealed solar powered motor drives a pump impeller using a magnetic coupling. I don’t know if the impeller is supposed to be magnetized or not. Mine is and it doesn’t work most of the time. Maybe a spinning magnet in the motor is supposed to drive a non-magnetized impeller in the pump. I would like to know if this is how it is supposed to work.

I am planning on building a copy of his Hydraulic Water Pump (http://imagecache5.art.com/p/LRG/29/2939/JUYRD00Z/leonardo-da-vinci-hydraulic-water-pump-for-a-fountain-codex-atlanticus-1478-1518.jpg) the one on the the bottom. and i have figured almost everything out, but i was wondering what kind of pump he would have used to pump the water to the higher level?
i would like to use one that uses no electricity, and will move close to 100% of the water to the higher level- so it will constantly will keep on working.

It is a fairly large cascading corner fountain. I have no pump…yet. I would like to use it like a waterfall and connect it to a pond but have no idea how to go about this. I am tired of promises by those around me to help and if I had the correct information am pretty sure I could do this myself.
I would need to know what supplies I would need and how to set up pump etc to make it work the way I am picturing it. I need the soothing sound of running water close to me and it would also bring the wildlife within view. Making a wildlife habitat on the little piece that is mine to work with.
I would like to thank everyone who will contribute to this question
