Product Information

Full details

This 30cm Corten steel water feature cascade is designed for garden owners seeking a durable and visually striking water element that requires minimal maintenance. Its key benefit is the unique, evolving patina of Corten steel, offering a modern aesthetic and superior weather resistance. A notable caveat is its unsuitability for ponds containing fish or water plants due to the steel's properties. The feature provides a continuous, cascading water flow and is relatively easy to install for an immediate garden enhancement.

FAQs

How long does it take for the Corten steel to develop its full patina?

The development of the Corten steel patina is a gradual process that can take several months to a couple of years, depending on environmental conditions such as humidity and exposure to rain.

Can I use this water feature in a pond with fish?

No, this water feature is not suitable for ponds containing fish. The Corten steel may leach substances that are harmful to aquatic life.

Do I need to buy a pump separately?

Yes, a submersible water pump and a water reservoir are typically required and sold separately. Please check the product listing for included components.

How do I clean the Corten steel blade?

Clean the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the protective patina.

Will the rust color stain my patio or deck?

During the initial rusting phase, some color may transfer to adjacent surfaces. It is advisable to place a barrier between the feature and sensitive materials if staining is a concern.

What maintenance is required during winter?

In regions with freezing temperatures, it is recommended to drain the water feature completely and store the pump indoors to prevent damage from frost.

Can this feature be used indoors?

While it is weatherproof, it is designed for outdoor use. Indoor use would require careful consideration of potential water spills and the patina transfer.

Troubleshooting

Water flow is weak or inconsistent

Check that the pump is fully submerged and free from debris. Ensure the tubing is not kinked or blocked. Verify the pump has sufficient power for the height of the cascade.

Pump is not running

Confirm the pump is properly connected to a power source and that the power outlet is functional. Check for any safety cut-offs on the pump or power supply.

Unusual noise from the feature

Ensure the water blade and any mounting structures are secure and stable. Check that the pump is seated correctly in the reservoir and not vibrating against the sides.

Excessive splashing outside the reservoir

Adjust the water flow rate if possible via the pump. Ensure the water blade is positioned correctly to direct water back into the reservoir.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose Location: Select a level spot for the feature and its associated water reservoir.
  2. Install Pump: Place a submersible water pump (not included) within the water reservoir.
  3. Connect Tubing: Attach the tubing from the pump to the inlet of the water blade.
  4. Position Blade: Secure the 30cm water blade in its desired upright position, ensuring it is stable.
  5. Fill Reservoir: Fill the reservoir with clean water, ensuring the pump is fully submerged.
  6. Power On: Connect the pump to a suitable power source and test the water flow.

Compatibility:

  • Reservoir: Requires a separate water reservoir or pond to hold the water. The size of the reservoir should be sufficient to keep the pump submerged during operation.
  • Pump: Compatible with standard submersible water pumps. Ensure the pump has sufficient head height to push water up to the blade.
  • Environment: Suitable for outdoor use in most climates.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth only when necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can damage the Corten steel patina.
  • Water Level: Regularly check and top up the water level in the reservoir to prevent the pump from running dry.
  • Winterization: In freezing climates, drain the feature and pump, and store the pump indoors to prevent damage.
  • Patina Transfer: Be aware that during the initial rusting process, some color may transfer to adjacent surfaces. Consider a barrier if placed directly against light-colored materials.
