FAQs
What material is the water feature made from?
The Glenariff Bubbling Columns Water Feature is made from durable resin.
Does the water feature require electricity?
Yes, it requires electricity to operate the pump and the integrated LED lighting. It needs to be connected to a suitable outdoor power source.
How do I maintain the water feature during winter?
It is recommended to drain the water feature completely and store it in a protected location to prevent frost damage.
Can this water feature be placed indoors?
While the design is sophisticated, it is intended for outdoor use. Ensure proper electrical safety if considering indoor placement, and be mindful of potential water splashing.
How often should I refill the water?
The frequency of refilling depends on evaporation rates, which vary with temperature and wind. Check the water level regularly, at least every few days, to ensure the pump remains submerged.
Will the LED lights be bright enough to read by?
The integrated LED lighting is designed to provide ambient illumination for a stunning night-time display, not for task lighting. It creates a mood rather than providing bright light.
Troubleshooting
Water feature not pumping water
Ensure the pump is fully submerged in water. Check the power connection and that the pump intake is not blocked.
LED lights are not working
Verify the power connection for the lights. Check for any visible damage to the wiring or bulb housing.
Low water flow or weak pump performance
Clean the pump intake and filter. Ensure the water level in the reservoir is sufficient. Check the tubing for kinks or blockages.
Water is cloudy or has algae growth
Drain the reservoir, clean it thoroughly with a soft brush and mild soap, and refill with fresh water. Consider using a water clarifier or algaecide suitable for garden water features.
