water feature half set up


water feature half set up

I bought this when I still lived on the 7th floor;; it spent the next three years in the box until I moved into my prevous flat - when I set it up I found it'd only work for about an hour a day, cos that was all the direct sunlight I got there. so back into storage for another three years. I packed the pump and associated rubes separately; they're still to be found, but at least the rest of it is set up. Filled it with water from the butt, to give it something to do

behind it, you mean? it's a bidet; I won it on Freecycle, it'll beome either a minipond or a water feature itself! need to get a pump and tubes and solar panel and stuff and have a go at making my own.

lol i didn't realise it'd be in the pic when I placed the water feature! I did try to corp it out, but not with total success, as your question proves.

The water feature was in an online sale, £40 when the regular price was about £80-90. even though I didn't have room for it, or any idea when I might have room for it, I bought it anyway.

The punp etc are probably packed with my "electrical" stuff; at least, that's where I'll start looking. I found the solar panel, but no cable; it's only a small panel and the front keeps falling off, so maybe I oculd do with antoher one - with battery backup, of possible.

ahh, soon, I hope, will hear the sound of chuckling water again ...

Loving the bidet Fran :) Couldn't you use it for soaking your feet after a hard day in the garden ;)

The water feature is a cracker! You bagged a bargain there.

thanks Scottish. The bidet's not connected to anything, no taps, though the drain works. it'd be a bit of a prob to get it to sowmhere I could use it - and to bale it out after, as the drain would let the water stright out on to whatever surface it's standing on.

I did buy an "inflatable footbath" from Kleeneze, it has three infate points, one of which seems not to want to hold air in, sigh.

The water feature is a goody, I had to grab it while it was so cheap, even though I knew it'd be years before it got used - if ever! but there's an incentive for me to do some more box-sorting, to find the rest of it.
