Please can someone steer me in the right direction

I bought a beautiful slate waterfall at an estate sale last summer and it was the yin to my yang. Until I discovered it has a leak and I have hard wood floors, but also that it somehow is not working. I really need to know who to take it to to get it fixed? Its one of those 4 1/2 foot tall terra cotta colored floor fountains that you might see in a dentist office.

Kinder,
What you have is a water pump system that's leaking.
Anyone with a large aquarium setup should be able to point you in the right direction.
Hopefully the "reservoir" tub at the bottom hasn't spring a leak (usually an expensive part).
Or, there may be some parts replacements needed in the pump and hoses. Hopefully the stone "spillways" have not cracked, but if so, a decent stone epoxy works for that.
If you can figure out who the manufacturer was for the system, try looking it up online and look for an operations or parts manual.
(Yeah I do more than the woodworking stuff.)

First you have to locate where it is leaking. If it is a leak in the Terra cotta base, you can find water proof epoxies in a similar color like UC said. If in a hose, a trip to a good hardware store will do the trip. If the pump is getting electricity but not pumping water, your better off replacing it. Just locate the nameplate on the pump and check for one online. They aren't that expensive when you compare having to pay labor to try and fix it. Plus trying to find parts online for a small pump like that might prove difficult, if not impossible.

Look at the pump, older setups with tube pumps probably need to have the hose clamps replaced, and probably the hoses. The most common place to leak is at the pump/tube connection. Clamps are very cheap.

Kinder I guess you don't take Pms, if you'd like to contact me I'm pretty good at that stuff, we could meet up& I'll look at it. I may even have material's to repair depending on the issue of course. yourdesire@salusafe.com might be the best way to reach me.
