Question:

I want water to flow down a vertical glass panel into a decorative basin. To be used inside as a decorative ce?

directions and step to build a indoor wall fountain

Answer:

Water basin with a fabric layer to contain splashes, keep junk out. Circulating water pump. Tubing. Glass sheet with textured surface. Copper or plastic tray as long as sheet is wide. Mount the glass sheet vertically in the basin. Surround base with decorative pebbles and rocks. Put pump in basin Run pump outlet up a tube to top of sheet. You will have to balance height of sheet against strength (head height) of pump stream. At top of sheet, tray gets and holds water from tube. Carefully level tray so water cascades over lip evenly and coats sheet. Fill basin over pump input level with distilled water (to prevent stains). Put in anti-algae and anti-fungus solution. Run pump on timer, adjust output flow for best effect of the cascade. Refresh level occasionally and change monthly (Legionnaire's disease could infect it and you!).
