Decided to descend their territory a water fountain? An excellent idea for those who like to create elements of "street decor" in their country house or dacha. Today, a high-quality and modern fountain is expensive, and for many it just becomes an unsinkable dream. However, you should not despair: learn the instructions below and try to make a water pump yourself!

Water pump (or pump) is widely used by gardeners and is an indispensable tool for irrigation of lawns, a local area and a presence. To date, specialized stores offer a wide range of diverse pump type devices, mostly electric. But often there are times when the light is turned off, or problems with meals occur, then the water pump comes to help.
To make it with your own hands, you can not do without:
Drill;
Soldering clothes;
Brake chamber;
Adhesive (epoxy);
Car chamber;
Copper tubes;
Metal balls;
Pairs of gloves;
Small springs and metal pieces.

To work, use the old car chamber. Of course, you can buy a new material, in this case the device will last much longer. You will need to disassemble it and drown all the wells. Make the bottom of the camera a pair of holes (for valves) and do not forget about the hole on the rod, which will perform the top part of the part. Then cut a small piece of the metal tube (you can use copper or brass), the walls of which should be thick. Now you should choose a metal ball of the desired diameter for the tube. Moreover, it should be a little more internal diagonal of the pipe. Then use the drill to make a hole (larger than the ball) about the half-product length. Now you need to put a ball into the tube (across the hole) and consolidate a piece of solder wire from above. This will be a "intake valve". Its work is configured to take the suction process at pressure, which raises the ball and allow the hole to open. Moreover, he will not be able to "fall out" from there, since it is firmly pressed the wire.

Now you need to construct the "graduation valve". It is made similarly to the previous part. The only difference - between the wire and the ball, you need to attach the spring, which will perform the function "Pressing the hole". If the pressure occurs, the ball will be promoted, and the spring is compressed, which will entail the opening of the valve. Do not forget to put valves in the holes using epoxy glue so that the part has strength.

Cut part of the automotive rubber for the manufacture of the membrane. On the perimeter of the brake chamber, ride a circle from the material, in the middle of which make a hole. On both sides, insert the linings where we stick with a spilet with a special thread. Do not forget to secure the piece of nuts. To the bottom of the brake chamber, attach the circle (preferably on glue). Stretching the rod through the hole and secure the top and bottom of the camera. In order for your pump to be convenient to use, attach the holder to it in the form of a handle. Make it with a soldering iron. If you wish, you can decorate this device at your discretion for "entering" it in the interior of the plot. A little patience and fantasy - and the water fountain is ready to use!
Of course, it's easier to acquire a new piston type device in the form of a pump. However, firstly, the price of them is very "biting", and secondly, they have a certain property of "breaking". Therefore, to save your funds, it is proposed to descriptive water pump on their own. Having studied all the advice described above, this work will not be much difficulty even for "novice".
