Description
The product is a water feature used to be put within gardens or inside a building. It is self-contained and requires an electrical connection to power the pump, level switch and optional lights. The water feature is comprised of a reservoir that holds the water which sits on a concrete foundation and can be in the ground or out of the ground. This is made from fibreglass. Inside the reservoir is a pump, pipe work and a level switch to turn the pump off if the water gets too low. A stainless steel stand sits inside the reservoir to support the body. The body is a clear plastic vessel with two plastic nozzles. When the reservoir is full of water and the electrical connection has been made, the pump turns on and it moves water from the reservoir into the body creating a vortex within it. As the water gets to the top of the Volute vessel, it flows over the outside creating a shimmering effect and sound as the water falls back into the reservoir. The water feature is packaged within a wooden box on a pallet.
