FWIW I moved the pool coolers (I made a second one) to the back wall by the rocks. One at each end and leave them on all of the time.

I've been getting it by the case at aldi. Cheaper than bulk by 30%. Now if I had a truck to transport the 20gal talboy I would pay the 30% to not mess with the 96 oz containers.
We built a similar fountain, all out of 1 1/2" PVC. Same threaded male connector, out to a 90* elbow (to get above water line) to a T, 12" piece of pipe off of each side of T, cap on each end. Drill small holes in 12" section on top side for fountain effect.
hey karmabiker, unfortunately most of your photos no longer exist on here. any chance of re posting a couple?
thanks
thanks
Odd ... I can still see them all. Let me see if I can figure out what's up.

The only pictures visible are of the pipe elbow and fitting. The rest just say image and the code for photos.

I can see all the pictures. Looks like a great idea. I will probably be building something like this for next summer. Are the eyeballs hard to remove or are they just hand tight?
Usually hand tight. But on mine I need to remove the "inner" part of the return housing. It has 2 slots on the inside of the fitting. For that I have a 1" plastic putty knife that fits in there perfectly to spin them out.
I will say this. Be careful. And remember, lefty loosey, righty tighty, and when you are upside down (like on the pool deck) that is reversed. My wife over tightened ours last year and darn near snapped the fitting off of the pipe behind the wall. I had to cut off the fountain and cut the remainder of the pipe out of the socket.

Not sure about the upside down part. You are turning in a circle so it will always be lefty loosey, righty tighty.
