It is just that I won't run the shower head for hours to simulate rain when we have water restrictions on. Their pond is kept full to the brim though |

Hook the shower head up to a pump and pump water from the pond through the shower back in to the pond. Would this work or are you putting water on to the land parts of the enclosuire to simulate rain? |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-03 Location: Melbourne O>I>G>L Souly! | | | Yeah Maggie that would probably work over the water only problem is that the pump I already have on the pond won't pump to a 2m head so unless I invest in a bigger, much bigger, pump I won't be able to get enough pressure up to the outlet. I think I'll just wait till it rains but thanks for the suggestion it's a good one | | |
