How to make it
Step 1: Paint the pots and let them dry. Add a layer of waterproof sealer. Let it dry according to packaging.
Step 2: Place the pump at the bottom of the basin and place two pieces of wood on either side of it.
Step 3: Put the basin where you want your waterfall to live permanently and fill it with water.
Step 4: Stack a large terra cotta pot on top of the wood and feed the hose of the pump through the hole.
Step 5: Use plumber’s putty around the pump hose to create a seal between it and the bottom of the pot.
Step 6: Repeat steps 2 and 3 with pots of different sizes to build up a waterfall. The spout of the pump should stick out of the top pot.
Step 7: Fill the basin with water and then turn on the pump and test the water flow. If it doesn’t work, try adding more water to the top pots and run the pump again.
Step 8: Fill the pots with rocks. Turn on the pump and watch the water flow down!
