I am contemplating a water feature, probably a drilled slate monolith about 600 mm high, surrounded by slate paddlestones.
This is clearly something that is best bought by seeing it in the flesh, but finding suitable places, even some distance away, is proving difficult.
There are only seem to be a few basic pool types: Finia 650 or
1000, or a circular tub with galvanised grid. I think the 1000 may be overkill, but the 650 might be too small.It is hard to judge what water flow is needed, and running an oversize pump severely throttled doesn't sound good or efficient practice.
I have read that pumps should be removed in winter, yet some people apparently leave them in situ. If the supply cable is installed underground, how is the pump taken in for the winter?
Has anybody any useful comments?
