FAQs
How long does it take for the Corten steel to achieve its full rustic look?
The Corten steel typically develops its characteristic orange-rust patina over approximately 3 days of exposure to the elements. The color will continue to deepen and evolve over time.
Is the water feature suitable for indoor use?
No, this water feature is designed specifically for outdoor use due to the nature of Corten steel and its weathering process.
Do I need to connect it to a water supply?
No, this is a fully self-contained unit. You only need to fill the reservoir with water, and it recirculates.
How often should I refill the water?
This depends on evaporation rates in your climate. Check the water level regularly, especially in hot or windy conditions, to ensure the pump remains submerged.
Can I leave the water feature on all the time?
Yes, the feature is designed for continuous operation. Ensure the water level is maintained and the pump is clean.
What maintenance is required for the pump?
The pump intake should be checked and cleaned periodically to prevent clogging by debris or algae, ensuring optimal water flow.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty details, as this information is not provided in the product description.
Troubleshooting
Water feature is not flowing
Check that the pump is submerged, the power cord is securely plugged in, and the pump intake is clear of debris. Ensure the outlet is functional.
Water flow is weak
Clean the pump intake filter and the pump housing. Ensure the water level is sufficient to fully submerge the pump. Check for any kinks in the tubing.
LED lights are not working
Verify the power connection to the lights. Ensure the power supply is on and check if the LED unit is securely connected. If issues persist, the LED may need replacement.
Excessive splashing
Adjust the water flow rate if possible via the pump control. Ensure the water is falling onto a flat surface within the reservoir to minimize disturbance.
Rust runoff is staining surrounding area
This is a natural process during the initial weathering phase. Place the feature on a surface that can tolerate staining, such as gravel or mulch, or use a protective mat during the first few weeks.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Unique, evolving aesthetic that matures over time.

Striking height makes it a prominent garden feature.
Cons
Requires a 3-day weathering period to achieve desired rustic appearance.
Corten steel can stain surrounding surfaces during the initial rusting phase.
Initial setup may require two people due to its height and weight.
LED bulbs may eventually require replacement.
Water pump requires regular cleaning to ensure optimal flow.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Position the water feature on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is access to a GFCI-protected outdoor electrical outlet.
Connect the water pump to the power cord as per the manufacturer's instructions.
Fill the reservoir with clean water. Ensure the pump is fully submerged.
Plug in the pump to test the water flow and check for leaks.
Allow the Corten steel to weather for approximately 3 days to develop its characteristic orange-rust finish. During this period, runoff may stain lighter surfaces.
Compatibility:
This unit is designed for outdoor use.
Requires a standard outdoor electrical outlet (GFCI protected recommended).
Compatible with most standard outdoor extension cords if needed, though direct outlet connection is preferred.
Care:
Water Level: Regularly check and top up the water level to keep the pump submerged and prevent it from running dry.
Cleaning: Periodically clean the pump intake to prevent blockages from debris or algae. Use a soft brush or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Winter Care: In freezing climates, drain the feature completely and store the pump indoors to prevent damage from ice. Consult the manufacturer's specific winterization guide.
Surface Staining: Be mindful of potential staining from the rust runoff during the initial weathering period. Consider placing it on gravel or a non-delicate surface.
