Village Pump Self Contained Water Feature
Village Pump Self Contained Water Feature
The Borderstone Village Pump stands out as a remarkable reproduction, capturing the essence of a quintessential piece of historical street furniture.
Eternally present in sepia-toned photographs from a bygone era, Borderstone artisans have expertly revived this iconic object. Whether placed prominently on the patio or more subtly integrated into the landscape, this pump adds captivating interest to your garden. Its lifelike appearance closely mirrors the original iron varieties but is now meticulously reproduced in weather-resistant fine cast stone.
The black finish with gold lettering, featuring "Stratford Pump - Harvest Stone 1878," adds a highly realistic touch. This pump serves as a wonderfully authentic ornament, seamlessly blending into any location.
Whether utilized as a standalone ornamental feature or set up with the included water pump to create a functional self-contained water feature—recycling water from the trough basin to flow back out the spout—it becomes a splendidly traditional addition to any garden, combining aesthetic charm with practicality.
Set Up
The trough is specifically crafted to function as the water reservoir, accommodating the included water pump within. The pipework originating from the pump, situated within the trough basin, is strategically designed to loop over the back of the basin, connecting seamlessly to the inlet on the front of the village pump. This configuration ensures a continuous and self-managed flow of water.
To safeguard against frost, it is recommended to drain both the village pump and the trough basin before the onset of colder winter weather. This precautionary measure helps prevent any potential damage caused by freezing temperatures, ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of the pump and trough during the winter months.
