The water simply recirculates from the pump, through the rock and back down into the reservoir to start again. No water supply is required. The lid of the reservoir is designed to take the weight of the rock. the lid has some very small holes to allow the water to flow back into the reservoir.

All the reservoirs we supply are self supporting and can be used above ground or below. They are specifically designed to carry the weight of water features. The reservoir lid can hold any type of pebbles or stones you choose without the need for an extra mesh which would rust over time. All the lids have an access port for easy removal of pump.

This type of water feature is virtually maintenance free as the stones on top of the lid act as a filter stopping leaves and debris entering the water.

If the reservoir is left on the ground a wall or plants can be used to disguise the reservoir. Naturally the reservoir can be partly buried if required and many people do this to increase the height of there feature. For instance if you choose a water feature that is 300mm tall you can make it appear taller by not burying the reservoir at all. If you choose a wall to go around the reservoir you now have an ideal spot to sit, relax and watch your water feature.

Often people put the water feature in raised bed, this is another way of making the feature look taller as the raised bed may be 400mm or more of the ground and now when you put a water feature in the raised bed it to appears taller.

Why not place your water feature in a place that can be viewed from inside your home. Even on a dark night with the addition of a light you will be able to enjoy your water feature.
