If you have a pool why not spend the winter months building something to enjoy in the warmer months? Have a look at this pool project for some inspiration.
“This is a solar powered microcontroller driven pool fountain. It was designed to provide an entertaining, pleasant visual and audible water effect in a cordless low-maintenance device.
Hardware:
The basic hardware design has the following features:

Neat idea. Now all I need is a pool…hmmm.
I wonder if it would be feasible to hook a filter up to it as well so it can do dual purpose? Or maybe make it float on a small raft…hmmm.

I like the raft idea… I am in the same situation though (no pool to play with).

Now you need to stick it in a naked Homer statue and have it pee in the pool. Having it add varying shades of yellow food coloring would be trippy.
