Hi,

I just put a deposit down for a ultimate 35' fiberglass pool. I'm planning to add fountain as I described here: Dry land water fountain on deck next to pool

My plan is to have a tanning ledge like this with fountain inside and few deck jets.

I'm trying to figure out how I can supply water to my fountain.

I want to have few fountain and few deck jets. The only difference is that instead of the typical pool setup where the jet is supplied by the primed pool pump, each of my water feature jet will use an individual controllable pump that is not primed.



I have few ideas on where to put the non-priming pump:
1. submerge the pumps in the tanning ledge and running plumbing to to deck jet. The downside is that I have bunch (10+) of ugly submerged pumps in the tanning ledge and makes it unusable for splashing.
2. Somehow Dig a hole in the ground and put a water tank underneath

Any other better solution?
