Water
features make a great addition to your pool or garden and Zodiac have plenty
for you to choose from.
The first step to
planning your water feature is to consult a water feature installer, who can
advise you on the best style, location, and equipment. If you need to find a
water feature installer, send us an email we would be delighted to put you in touch with
an installer in your area.
Pump & flow requirements
A pump is essential
to a water feature, so it’s necessary to choose one that will deliver the optimum
flow rate for your water feature. Select a pump that can move more water than
what your water feature’s basic operation requires, as this gives you the
freedom to make adjustments to your water feature down the track.
Water Feature Filters
It’s important that
you install a good filter in the plumbing line to your water features, stopping
any debris from disrupting the flow of the water.
Water Feature Structural Housing
Depending on your
chosen water feature, you may need to install a structure to house it. Water
feature housings come in a wide variety of types and sizes, including retaining
walls, piers and artificial rocks.
Site Analysis
The amount of water
flow that is required to achieve the effect you desire will impact the position
of the water feature. The way the water feature is plumbed will also have a
significant impact on the water flow and therefore the performance of your
water feature. Choose a location that’s away from wind and sun, reducing water
evaporation. Also avoid any underground cables and lines that may be running
under your yard.
Council Regulations for Water
Features
Before installing
your water feature we recommend that you contact your local council to ensure
that it complies with any regulations or guidelines.
