Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your water feature, choose a perfectly level area to prevent water from splashing unevenly. Place the reservoir firmly into the ground or a base, lay the galvanised steel grid across the top, and place the slate sphere centrally. Connect the pump and LED light cables, ensuring all connections are dry and secure before switching on the power.
For ongoing care, clear debris such as leaves or twigs from the grid regularly to prevent blockages. Periodically check the water level in the reservoir to ensure the pump remains fully submerged, as running a pump dry will cause damage. During severe frost, while the materials are frost-resistant, keeping the unit clear of debris helps prevent ice-related damage to the pump housing.
