What happens here
Install the necessary plumbing and pumping system. The speaker mentions that the water "pumps it underground and comes through these spouts." This involves laying underground pipes from the basin to each of the integrated spouts in the retaining wall. Connect these pipes to a submersible pump located within the basin. Ensure all connections are watertight and the pump is properly sized for the desired water flow and head height. An electrical connection for the pump will need to be run, preferably through conduit and connected to a GFCI-protected outlet.
Goal: Set up the underground water circulation system.
