A good pump is a prerequisite for a beautiful, functional stream
Which source is suitable for my stream?
An artificial stream always consists of three components: source, path and destination. The trail is the stream in the true sense, while the source and destination each mark its endpoints.
No creek without brook pump
Since the artificial creek is a non-ending cycle, whose water flows from the source to the destination and is transported back from there, is the indispensable watercourse pump to the actual source. There are various models to choose from, which you can choose according to size, water flow and requirements:
The pump is always installed at the lowest point at the end of the stream because its job is to pump the water back to the source. Submerge the pump either in the pond or in an underground shaft located below the water surface. The water itself flows back through a hose, which is buried at the side of the stream. Never attach the return hose directly under the stream bed: If it has to be repaired once, otherwise the whole brook run can be dug up.
Make Bachquelle appealing
Although the stream is fed from the return hose, it can still be made visually appealing - in such a way that said hose does not stand out. For this purpose, you can integrate its end, for example, into a source stone, a source shell or similar, from which the water then bubbles. Incidentally, such a sourcing stone can be easily produced by yourself: you only need a stone chunk of the desired shape and size, through which you drill a hole with a suitable tool in a size that measures the diameter of the tube.
Tips
All you can do without a pump and thus a source, if you have a dry stream - d. H. without water - create. Made of natural stones and planted accordingly, this "streamlet" is very atmospheric.
