    I wonder what that would look like with LED strip lighting by the nozzles where the water comes out. Gives the illusion that the water is coloured. I like it. It’s so simple yet affected 👍👍

      Oooo! Daddy like! Of course you would use a WATERPROOF LED light strip, because it is outdoors and right next to water. Waterproof LED strips are a little harder to work with, but you would eventually put them in anyway. I wonder how ultraviolet light would look.

    1. How do you deal with evaporation: how often do you have to add water into your system to keep the amount of water at a level suitable for working ?
    2. Where is the electric outlet for you porno?

    Cool water feature but you'll constantly be adding water to the basin with this design due to wind and splashing water on the rocks. Ive built several style "pondless" water features like this and have always had to return to using pond liner extending farther past the catch basin to catch all the water. I really like how you scorched the cedar.

      We built one about twice this size and its been a nightmare. Used pond liner for the basin. Everything works fine until its ran long enough to splash water outside of the basin and it flows under the liner. Then the hole fills up with water, raising the pond liner, and removing water from the basin.... took it all apart and lined the basin with thick stone tile. After a while it did the same exact thing. There's no way this guy isn't having issues. I'd like to see what his looks like today.

    Enjoyed your video. Considering water feature in our garden. For me a big part of the selection will be the actual sound of the water feature as that varies a lot with different water feature designs. As such a short section of video where we could hear what the completed water feature sounds like without any other audio would have helped. This seems to be something most water feature videos overlook. Thanks again for the video and ideas.
