This water feature is manufactured from Polyurethane Resin which offers the realistic look of natural slate, but is far lighter in weight at only 3.15kg combined, making it far easy to position the pieces by hand and without the need for lifting machinery that would be required to move real stone.

Installation Tips:
The water feature needs to be positioned at a slight downward angle to assist gravity in directing the water down the cascade. The surface should be horizontally level to ensure the correct spread of water across the stream section. If additional support is required beneath the water feature to secure it at the desired angle, bricks or breeze blocks can serve this purpose if there is not a natural bank to use.
When the male threaded hose tail is screwed in, it is recommended that PTFE tape is wrapped around the thread of the hose tail to prevent any leaking. There is a thin skin of flexible material covering the outlet hole directly opposite the hose tail. This material must be pierced or cut out entirely before the water feature can be operated.
A piece of flexible hose must be connected to the hose tail and secured with a stainless steel hose clip at both ends (a pump must be installed at the other end). We recommend 1" (25mm) internal diameter hose is used. Any stages on the hose tail smaller than the diameter of pipe being used should be sawn off to prevent loss of flow. The flexible hose can be buried or routed beneath the water feature to hide it.
It is recommended that the flow direction of the stream is tested before finishing the water feature, so that adjustments to the position of the feature can be made if necessary. Testing can be done by gently pouring a bucket of water or directing a hose pipe down the stream to see if the water takes the intended path to the bottom. When running satisfactorily, the feature can be set in by backfilling around it with a sand/cement mix and/or soil so that it should not move from its final position.
If you have an existing pond, the lowest ledge of the watercourse must overhang the pond edge so that all of the water makes its way back to the pond. The same rule applies if an underground water reservoir is being used. A pump will be required in the pond or reservoir to provide flow to the stream. The pump should be capable of delivering a minimum of 1,500 litres per hour at the head of the stream.
