Using an electric drinking water pump made for 5 gallon water jugs, you can turn an ordinary water table into a fountain oasis for your kids! I am so incredibly excited to share this water table hack with you because it’s seriously going to change your life.

My kids love the water table. As soon as it’s even remotely warm outside, you can always find them at their faithful Costco water table pouring, scooping, and splashing in the water. While I thoroughly enjoy watching them play with this super fun summer time toy, my daughter is constantly asking me to pour water into the top portion to “make it rain”.

Luckily she has an amazing and patient older brother who will continually fill up the top with water to keep it flowing. Well I’m about to put him out of a job. Because this water table hack will keep the fountain flowing indefinently and without any cords or plugs! Major safety bonus!

How To Hack Your Water Table

Attach the tubing that comes with the pump to the bottom of the pump. Now, thread the tubing through one of the holes on the top of the water table. Run the tubing down the side of the water table into the water. If you’d like you can zip tie the hose to keep it in place.

Make sure that the nozzle of the pump has plenty of room to pump water into the top portion of the water table. Turn the pump on and let the fun begin! This 5 minute summertime hack really is that easy!
