These are the pictures of the submersible pond pump, reducer, & hose connections.


An overview picture of the system out of water.

I wish I hadn't lost the pictures of the system actually working in the store window when my super old computer crashed loosing all of my photo files on the disc. I was really proud of how it worked & looked. Back then it was cutting edge. It's great to see the young whipper snappers like Damo taking interest in issues like I did years ago.

That looks just the job, Bill! 8-)

It looks a good size, and has a good outlet size as well :yup:

If I get time & weather permits this weekend, I may try to show it actually working. When I designed my new building that was shown in the PCFD on scene of a large building fire photo story, it was to be able to use this pump & fogger machine together. As long as this pump has a water supply, it will pump continuously until it runs out of water, or it is unplugged from the electric source.

Ooooh, that would be awesome! I hope it works out to do it! If there's ever an exhibition somewhere, your building with working pump and fog machine would make an excellent diorama. ;D

The following is the enlarged photos showing the submerged pond pump & water supply system in use for continual water usage as talked about earlier. The weather report said it is supposed to turn to the not so good for the weekend, so I went ahead & rushed this into service. It took 10 minutes to set up by the way.


A picture showing the 5 gallon bucket, submerged pump, water supply garden hose, & supply lines going to PCFD apparatus.


Splitter & supply lines.


PCFD Ladder Towers TL114 & TL124 hooked up to the water supply lines.


A picture showing TL114's platform monitor water stream.


PCFD TL124's monitor water stream. These are a distance of 3.5 feet in length.


A picture of TL114's monitor elevated to shoot to a distance of 6.5 feet in distance.


A picture of the height & 6.5 foot distance with the Playmoshed in the background.


A close of picture of the powerful stream in use.

Very cool, BB! That gives a really good stream of water, looks quite realistic. I can see how great that would be set up with the building and fog machine and all. :love:

WOW That looks very impressive, Bill! :o :o :o

How quickly can it empty the bowl do you reckon? (without the garden hose going)

Btw, what is the black hosey thing in the basket in pic 5?

Thank you for taking the time to set it up and show us :) :) :)
