Abstract

One embodiment provides a system, including: an ornament assembly comprising: a fluid pump therein, wherein the fluid pump comprises an inlet and a discharge; a control mechanism operatively coupled to the fluid pump, wherein the control mechanism controls the fluid pump; a power source operatively coupled to control mechanism; and at least a first aperture and a second aperture; the first aperture being connected to the inlet of the fluid pump and having a connection mechanism for connecting a fluid transfer device; and the second aperture being connected to the discharge of the fluid pump and having a connection mechanism for connecting a fluid transfer device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

an ornament assembly comprising;

a fluid pump therein, wherein the fluid pump comprises an inlet and a discharge;

a control mechanism operatively coupled to the fluid pump, wherein the control mechanism controls the fluid pump;

a power source operatively coupled to control mechanism; and

at least a first aperture and a second aperture;

the first aperture being connected to the inlet of the fluid pump and having a connection mechanism for connecting a fluid transfer device; and

the second aperture being connected to the discharge of the fluid pump and having a connection mechanism for connecting a fluid transfer device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the control mechanism is electronically controlled by an information handling device.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the control mechanism is a switch.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the fluid pump comprises a water pump.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the second aperture is located at a lower part of the ornament assembly.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising a first section of tubing removably attached to the connection mechanism of the first aperture and a second section of tubing removably attached to the connection mechanism of the second aperture.

7. The system of claim 6, further comprising a sensor operatively coupled to a lower portion of the second section of tubing, wherein the sensor detects a water level.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the power source comprises a battery.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the power source comprises a power supply.

11. The system of claim 10, further comprising a power plug.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the ornament assembly further comprises an attachment mechanism.

8. The system of claim 8, wherein the sensor is operatively connected to the control mechanism and wherein the control mechanism activates the fluid pump upon a signal from the sensor.

13. A system, comprising:

an ornament assembly comprising an attachment mechanism and further comprising;

a water pump therein, wherein the water pump comprises an inlet and a discharge;

a control mechanism operatively coupled to the water pump, wherein the control mechanism controls the water pump;

a power source operatively coupled to control mechanism; and

at least a first aperture and a second aperture;

the first aperture being connected to the inlet of the water pump and having a connection mechanism for connecting a water transfer device; and

the second aperture being located at a lower part of the ornament assembly and connected to the discharge of the water pump and having a connection mechanism for connecting a water transfer device

a first section of tubing removably attached to the connection mechanism of the first aperture, wherein the first section of tubing transports fluid from a reservoir; and

a second section of tubing removably attached to the connection mechanism of the second aperture, wherein the second section of tubing transports fluid to a reservoir.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the control mechanism is electronically controlled by an information handling device.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the control mechanism is a switch.

16. The system of claim 13, further comprising a sensor operatively coupled to a lower portion of the second section of tubing, wherein the sensor detects a water level.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the sensor is operatively connected to the control mechanism and wherein the control mechanism activates the fluid pump upon a signal from the sensor.

18. The system of claim 13, wherein the power source comprises a battery.

19. The system of claim 13, wherein the power source comprises a power supply.

20. The system of claim 19, further comprising a power plug.
