I'd be a bit worried that birds might try to bath in the water with it being so full and drown. Maybe if the water level was a bit lower or you could put some wire just beneath the water so it can't be seen. Had that happen to me with a rain barrel once, always have a lid now.

It's still going great :) the pump died once but only because of a common problem with them but the actual barrel itself is going well :)

I've been told by a fella selling barrels to use a bitumen water proofing inside as I intend fish. Did your plants down on the bottom of the barrel reach the surface?

I love this! I was slightly horrified when you pulled out that plastic pipe. Lol. The brass looks a million times better! I like all of the little extras you added. Did the plant inside grow well? Did the fake hanging plant last? We made a water fountain out of two half barrels, one sits higher than the other and feeds the water into it. The problem we're having is keeping the water clean. No matter what we use, it's been growing moss. We've cleaned it out thoroughly many times and used the proper chemicals. Any suggestions? Have you had any problems?
@MichaelRoninTV 8 ай бұрын
Yes, mine is very much the same. Especially because I ended up putting fish in mine. One thing that has helped is I put an algae solution in every couple of weeks and that seems to keep the water pretty clear (it's harmless to the fish also).

I need your help! Was trying to do the same drain system as you and measure the hole in the barrel and it’s 2 inches the bath tub drain fit perfect but I’m not sure what size gate valve you used! It’s confusing to find the right one and nipple.
@AmazingArnoldVoice Жыл бұрын
I figured it out and went with 2 inch gate valve, 90 and used to non over flow tub drains for inside. It came out perfect

Hi Sharen, that sounds like some type of algae. I had it too. You can buy a powder that you throw in the water that is supposed to kill the algae. Give that a try :)

@MichaelRoninTV Жыл бұрын
I just used a pond light which is suitable for underwater. I then ran the cable out the barrel (towards the top so there is as little water pressure as possible) and siliconed all around the cable/hole :)

Yep, it's just at the bottom but sitting in a pot with a plant in it. I just tried to find the pond light online but just realised I actually got it from a place nearby that sells pond equipment.
