Hey guys, this might be a little off topic, thought this may be a place to ask.

I'm planning a creative project in which I will have some piping bending upward (pic provided) and need to know how I go about creating a pump of sorts to have water flowing continuously through and back around the piping. I'm not familiar with any plumbing techniques so if you could give me any advice that'd be great.

Cheers

Welcome to the forum.

What volume of water are you planning on moving?
 
It's a prop really, it doesn't actually do anything but supposed to look like a crazy invention. There will be several pipes visible, I would say the volume of liquid will be around 10 litres in each system. I forgot to mention that the piece has to be battery powered as there's no mains access. I was thinking of using aquarium pumps, but really don't know what I'm doing...
Thanks for your help!
 
I'm not sure of the flow rate, it just needs to look like there's some flow rather than the liquid being static. I'm using 50mm OD 40mm ID clear acrylic pipe
 
Have a look at a D5 pump should work for what your looking at
