Water Pump Pot | Dante's Coffee Making

First, purchase a non-porous ceramic pot, or metal holder with a diameter no less than 10 and 5 inches in depth to accomodate the pump. The 10 inches in diameter is to hold the interesting top scenery. Remember textures and colors are important. You can find materials anywhere with a little imagination. Such as river stones, pebbles, Spanish Moss, handcrafted small shrubs, plants, flowers…. Or you can go to your local aquarium store for interesting water decorations for the tank and use those. The combinations are endless!

Second, decide on the theme and sketch a basic layout of your waterfountain.

Third, when you have decides on the decorative layout of your water fountain. You are now ready to provide your decorations with a foundation or platform to adhere. Your platform of course will cover the water pump. Create a small hole in the platform above for the hose to come out. Make sure it is undetected going up along side a graduated flower or plant upright in the container to cause water to flow downward.

Fourth, the platform can be made of the material you will find in flower shops arrangements. It’s a green porous light weight material. Easy to make a hole, but because of its porous nature, but please becareful, small particles from this material can clog the pump once water is introduced at the base of the container. Using a strong water-proof glue, you can glue shells, pepples, or on Spanish Moss to give your fountain a full and finished look.

Fifth, fill the container with water. Plug in the pump, then sit back and relax to the soothing sounds of flowing water. You can carefully bubble wrap it and send it through the mail, marked “Fragile” of course, to its new home as a gift.

What are the benefits of an indoor water fountain?
1.Keeps indoor air quality hydrated.
2.Gently purifies and recycles air.
3.Soothes harried nerves
4.Thoughtful but inexpensive gift
5.Great social focal point for guests
6.Water fountains is conducive to relaxation and sleep
7.Great alternative to white noise to drowning out annoying sounds. What better way to do it naturally but through the power of gentle flowing water.
8.The hydration in the surrounding air promotes free breathing but provides proper air moisture for healthy plant growth.

Materials Needed:
1.A container at 10 inches wide and 5 inches deep: non-porous ceramic pot, a metal container, or anything else that can hold water. The dimensions are guidelines.
2.Platform sponge from your local flower shop to hold your scenic decorations on top.
3.Electrical water pump.
4.Strong Water proof glue. See hardware stores.
5.And, of course, your theme materials such as: pebbles, river stones, Spanish Moss and various handcrafted plants for longevity.

et viola! You now have your first handcrafted water fountain.

Boiling Point of Water?

The boiling point of water is lower when atmospheric pressure decreases. Theoretically, then, you could attach a suction pump to a pot and suck out the air above the water level, and the water would come to a boil faster, thereby saving energy. Do you see anything wrong with this argument?

Everyone seems interested in practicalities. As asked, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this argument and it would, in fact, work exactly so. Almost exactly — actually, the biggest reason it takes less energy is that the water boils at a lower temperature (internal energy) and so does not need as much energy added to reach that point.

That said, there are some practical (i.e.: secondary) concerns (having nothing to do with WHY you are doing this) for actually doing it or calculating expectations before doing it. Start with your vacuum. As you draw it, the amount of water entering the “air” space will rise. This will increasingly impede your drawing of the vacuum and in the real world, may limit how much of a vacuum you can draw. Of course, your seals may also limit you. Once you begin boiling, the seals may face another serious challenge due to the expansion of the water. You may choose to continue drawing the vacuum and evacuate the steam as it forms (in which case, as it entrains water on its way out of the water, this non-boiled water will be evacuated as well; depending on whether you want the boiling water or the steam, this may be good or bad). If so, and if you can maintain the vacuum, you do not have to consider the rising pressure due to the expansion of the water as it becomes steam — as much. If you do not continue drawing it off, that will change the pressure markedly and you will find yourself boiling water at a higher, rising pressure and not the lower one you hoped for. Even if your experimental apparatus is large enough to lessen this effect, it is almost certainly closed or you would have needed the mother of all vacuum pumps. Leave it so and the pressure rises. Open it and suddenly you have at least atmospheric pressure again. So, unless you continuously draw off the steam/water vapor mixture rising from the water, you will be back to at least your starting point. One more important point the first person addressed is that, while you may use less energy for the boiling of the water, it is possible the other equipment may consume as much or more doing their parts. As an experiment, that probably fails to achieve the goal. As an industrial process, so long as those costs are not prohibitive, your only real concern might be fitting into limitations in the boiling portion of the process while still achieving the boiling.
