   Ridiculous price for ridiculous design, 14 Jun. 2015

   This could be such a good product – but isn’t …

   - although the box is huge, there is zero space for any cable inside. All slack is outside.
   - with the supplied cable glands, you’ll struggle to get any decent sized cable into the box.
   - the screws for the mains cables are fiddly PCB based terminals with about 4-5mm access – whilst wiring is possible, it is ridiculously difficult for no reason whatsoever
   - the lights are a neat touch but useless in daylight as they are so dim
   - the design of mounting the box is just plain wrong. Access to the innards is by means of screws that are at the BACK of the unit. This means that the entire assemble with all cables has to be lifted 3-4 inches to access the back. With this design, one cannot have tidy cables are they’ll always be have the 3-4 inches of slack dangling outside.

   Given it 2 stars because it does do the job. However, you can do better elsewhere for a lot less money.

   This product looks great, lots of nice details. However if I turn a switch off it won’t switch on again unless I take the whole switch box apart and put it back together. The switches work fine when inspected but will only switch off and won’t switch back on once the cover is back on. Having bought this in August I would have expected it to be still working in December. I see I am not able to return it now as that time has apparently passed. I’m really disappointed as I thought i could trust this brand..

   This works really well although it can be a bit fiddly to set it all up. Suggest you place it somewhere that has good access for connecting the various cables. Don’t stick it in a corner because it will prove difficult to wire up. Have a good look round when buying one as the prices vary considerably. Some sellers were charging twice what I paid.

   This is fantastic it looks great and sounds great.
   The water stays in the buckets I’ve had it running for a week and havnt topped it up yet.
   The instructions were crap! There were wires tucked inside the top of bucket connected to the wrong plugs but luckily I used my common sense and checked out ebay sellers they have what’s in the box pictures which is very helpful.
   It has transformed my garden and I get loads of people stopping and sayING how lovely.
   A great buy for £70.

   I would really have liked to give this five stars because it looks so authentic and is fabulous when the water is running, very soothing , but on the very bottom left hand side of the bottom bucket there is an area where there is none of the coppery finish it’s just grey. It looks like it’s been missed during the spray process or damaged in some way. I thought about returning it but as some have mentioned the instructions for putting the whole feature together aren’t that great so it took a while and my husband didn’t really want to take the whole thing apart again . To be honest although it was slightly annoying now it’s installed in its place in the garden and surrounded by river pebbles it sort of doesn’t matter it adds something to the distressed look. I have to stress that I do love it and the overall effect is lovely , relaxing and mesmerising, and it’s so realistic that when my young grandson saw it for the first time he thought he could turn the tap off. Despite the slight ‘damage’ I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting an authentic looking water feature that doesn’t cost the earth.

   I saw one and fell in love with one of these at a garden centre. I compared the price with Amazon’s site and was surprise to find it was £45 cheaper so I quickly snapped one up. It is very realistic and doesn’t require much water to get it going. Mine was up and running in minutes. The picture instructions are dreadful and so tiny but I didn’t really need them once I looked at all the parts. The water feature is lightweight but solid in construction. It arrived well boxed with lots of polystyrene protection (my wife’s favourite noise) and with a UK power adaptor plus 30m of flex. I read that it is a good idea to use distilled water to prevent algae build up. This is a problem with one of my other water features. I haven’t tried this yet and may chose some bird friendly water treatment as an alternative.
