Water feature

7 years ago

Can you tell me more about this fountain? Where is the pump for service? What maintenance is involved? How do you know when it needs more water? Are there mosquito abatement issues?
It's really lovely.
Thanks,
Meg

Hello Meg. Glad to hear you like the water feature. It is pretty easy to maintain. The pump and reservoir (will need to be topped up every now and again as it is not connected to the mains water supply) are located underneath the pebbles which are held in place over a metal grid.
