About 4 Spout Water Feature Including Pump
Four separate tap spouts pour at the same time, and that is the whole point of this piece. Parallel streams falling into the lower reservoir build a continuous layer of water sound that covers traffic and neighbour noise at the fence line, without anyone at the table having to raise their voice. In a courtyard corner or a patio nook the effect arrives a second after the pump is switched on.
The body is composite rather than stone, so it can be carried into position during an installation and moved again later if the garden changes. Because the pump is matched and supplied with the feature, setup needs no external plumbing and no trade work — a nearby outdoor power point is enough. View the water features and fountains collection, or call into our Malaga showroom and listen to a display model running, because water sound is the one thing a photograph cannot tell you.

Where does it sit best to keep spray off the paving?
Pick a courtyard corner, an alfresco nook, or a garden border with something solid at its back to break the prevailing Perth easterlies and the afternoon sea breeze. Four falling streams catch moving air easily; shelter them and droplets stay off the surrounding paving while the reservoir loses water far more slowly.
In summer, how often does the reservoir need topping up?
Every two to three days through hot conditions. A submersible water pump uses the water around it for motor cooling and lubrication, so a reservoir left to run dry takes the internal impeller with it. Look at the level, top it up, carry on.
Does the pump need anything more than a standard power point?
No. The included pump runs from a standard 240 V outdoor power outlet fitted with a residual current device (RCD) safety switch. Run the cable along the base of a wall or inside conduit so the line-trimmer never finds it and nobody catches a foot on it.
Algae in the reservoir and spouts — how do I stay on top of it?
Keep the fountain out of intense all-day sun where the garden allows, and lift fallen leaves and mulch out of the reservoir once a week. An aquarium-safe fountain water treatment, added periodically, stops string algae clogging the pump intake screen or narrowing the four tap outlets.
