2023 - What I did today

I don't "like" it either but want to show that I've read Scarlet's post.
Would a solar fountain do the job?

Thank you both.
That would have been easier but my son gave me the fountain/filter for Christmas. I had thought solar ones didnt work that well? I have had solar lights and they were rubbish. I was so fed up yesterday. The only solution us to use it in my big pond and find something more suitable. Neither have fish. I juat wanted some pond plants and a little feature. The fountain spreads about 5 foot - I dont want to waste the water either.Still feeling very frustrated with the whole thing!
