Water Fountain Covers with a Touch of Personalisation

If you're looking to create a DIY water feature for your garden oasis, there are plenty of products you can easily buy to bring your project to fruition. If it's a simple and affordable fountain you're looking for, choose a plug-in-and-play water feature and add interesting pebbles and planting around it so the gently bubbling jet forms a vignette that flows with the rest of your garden.Our covers are tailor made with neat seam stitching to suit your personal preferences in style. Along with fabric type, we offer customisable colour options. You can choose the colour you want for your cover from our options. Finally, avoid positioning a water bowl under trees because falling leaves can cause water to become stagnant. Skim the water's surface to remove debris if this does occur. Dig out the channel to a depth of between 25cm and 45cm. Keep the sides of the hole at right angles to the ground for a neat finish.

Use a water treatment to prevent slime, algae, and bacteria growth. Additionally, use a frost treatment in winter to prevent the water from freezing or drain the water feature. Also, if you live in a hard water area use an eco-friendly water cleaner that will stop the chalky residue from forming. Add treatments as needed, generally once a month. FAQs: DIY water feature How do I install a garden water bowl? When you are buying a water pump – be it solar or mains powered – there are a couple of factors to consider. First is to note the flow rate, which is measured in LPH, litres per hour. This is the volume of water the pump can push through in 60 minutes. Secondly, note the pump’s head height. This is the pressure the pump can deliver and the height that it can shoot the water. The higher these values, the more powerful the pump.

For a faff-free and easy-to-maintain water feature, Jill Morgan explains how to create a simple solar-powered pebble pool. Start by emptying the water out of the feature. With smaller features is quite simple but with some of the larger water features it may involve two people to carefully lift the feature. All the water needs to be removed. A little tip would be to place a towel inside the base of the feature to mop up excess water which struggles to find its way out. Place the lid on top of the reservoir making sure the fountain head protrudes through the hole. Fill with water, making sure the pump is fully submerged.

Once installed, keep water levels topped up because all submersible pumps require water to run. If the water feature runs dry it may cause irreparable damage.Widen one end of the trench to create a sump, which will house your submersible pump. Raise the base level at the other end of the trench by around 8cm to form a reservoir.

By following these simple steps come March 2012 and the start of spring you will be able to enjoy your feature for years to come. We know that some people are put off by the thought of fiddling for hours to get the feature up and running and so have ensured that whether you choose a mains or solar-powered water feature, installation and maintenance couldn’t be easier. We filter our range to offer you only the best quality products – our water features like cascadesand large water featuresare all carefully made to the highest standards and with the best materials. Decide on the position of your pool and place the large plastic reservoir on the cleared ground. Use a spray can to draw around it and remove. Use an edging iron to cut around the outline, working carefully to create a neat edge, then use a spade to dig the rest of the hole to sink the reservoir in.From bubbling spheres to pebble pools, low-level running water, or a cascade from a monolith, your first step is to decide what kind of water feature you want. This will be dictated by the amount of space that you have available. For small gardens, you could opt for a slim, vertical fountain or a wall-mounted water feature. Alternatively, for those who want to dig out a trench for an all-singing, all-dancing rill, we'll recommend the best mains-powered submersible pump and water treatments to keep your water flowing crystal clear.
