Homemade Fountains

[littleHeidi]

We were at the pool store last year and saw a T-shaped one for $45. My husband made one exactly like the one they had for $8!!! He took some PVC pipe, cut it to the length we wanted and boiled it near the bottom to get it to bend. He used PVC pipe to glue the top bar and drilled 1/8 of an inch holes about 1" in two rows. LOVE IT!! He says you need the following:
8 foot PVC pipe
male thread the size of your jet (1/4" or 1/2") to screw in
2 end caps
PVC glue
a "T"
an elbow

Here's some pictures of ours to help you out. Any questions, just ask away!!!!
