The Peace Fountain was up and running via re-cycled water for the first time on VJ Day 15.8.20.
It was powered by two car batteries and a power inverter supplying 230V.
A submerged water pump used a plastic drum reservoir to supply the Fountain and receive water from the fountains dish.
The two required pipes were placed above ground.

Water lost to splash and evaporation is topped up by a small pump submerged in the Sunken Fernery's waterway. The small pump also recycles water through the Fernery's Stone Pile Fountain and the Semi-Sunken Garden's Rockery Fountan.
