I have just purchased a nut oil vase vessel thing used in north france and kept outside
its not this , but to give an idea , as dont have a photo yet


So should be frost resistance
But I want to make it into a water feature

So there a hole in the bottom and the top already

So if I stood it on some sort of bucket/saucer thing

Then a hose would go up through the bottom of vase and then out the top of vase and trickle water down around the outside of the vase and into the bucket and then pumped up again via the hose pipe

I would like the transformer to be mains, as I can plug it i into the conservatory , and then a LONG very low voltage suitable to run in the garden maybe 10 meters or more if extendable would be ideal

Just seen some solar versions on display & was not running until sun was out, very overcast and no flow

Any ideas

thanks for the speedy reply
I looked at those on google and they all seemed to have a stem from the pump - as did the ones in the shop/nursery i went to this afternoon
maybe i need to call it something different on a search
 
thanks
i'll have to look at that , i talked to the guy at the nursery about maybe using a fishpond type of thing , he was not sure, and i hadn't looked yet
as posted this from a cafe in the nursery

BUT that link is to a wave maker ?

Check thru the whole section for aquarium circulating pumps.
 
thanks , i may have found a few things that may do the job - just need to check if this is 10m of mains lead or very low votage (dc) out to the pump
and they do various - powers
so may call them tomorrow

and also


i'll make a hole and put this in the ground as a sump with the pump and put stones all around and the vase/vessel stand on the top

may work

anyone think of any alternatives please reply - open to all sorts of suggestions at the moment
