Delightful: Water features of all kinds

to get water moving, is not difficult at all. On top of that, it's useful, because the water is enriched with oxygen during movement and plants and animals in the pond benefit from this. Whether with a fountain attachment for the pump, a fountain at the edge of the pond or a bubble stone, that needs nothing but a water reservoir: Die Technik für Wasserspiele ist so einfach, that the installation only takes a few hours.

It's really fast with ready-to-connect kits, which only have to be installed and put into operation. Some water features are equipped with a solar-powered pump and do not need their own electricity connection. They only work when the sun is shining, but that's exactly when more oxygen-rich water is needed.

EASY: WITH MOLDED PARTS TO PLUG

Stream bowls are available in many different shapes and colors and with a smooth or sanded surface- ,, come. They become the creek – straight or coiled as desired – to- V together. The elements are laid in sand like pond shells. A source element and a collection basin at the end are necessary, in which the pump is located. There are waterfall bowls to match, which may lie on a terraced slope or on layered stones.

TAKES LITTLE SPACE: SPARKLING STONE

As an alternative or supplement to the pond, bubble stones are suitable. The simplest form consists of a basin in the ground, in which the pump is located. It cannot be seen under the water-permeable cover. The water supply hose is routed from the pump through the cover and stone, cutting short, that its end cannot be seen above. At a bubble stone at the edge of the pond (see drawings) a longer feed hose from the pump is required. Just pay attention to it during installation, that the water runs back from the stone into the pond and cannot seep away on the bank.

DECORATIVE: GARGOYLUL

Gargoyle figures or vessels are very easy to install, from which water runs. The pump required for this is lowered into the water near the shore, Power cable and water supply for the gargoyle are hidden between marsh plants. Water features of this type are often available as a kit with a pump, which can also operate a fountain.
