These mushrooms have been carved from speckled granite and polished to give a smooth finish. This makes water on the surface tend to flow as a thin, wide film giving a glossy appearance.

 

The mushroom is drilled through the centre. When connected to a pond pump water rises up through a central bore hole and spurts from the top of the feature. It is possible to fit a waterproof spotty light at the top of this bore hole. A spotty light allows water spurting from the top to be illuminated. The moving water creates a flickering effect similar to candlelight.

 

Please note that the spotty light shown in the photograph is not included with the feature but is available as an option.

 

This feature could be used on a plinth in a garden pond or on a pebble pool base. When used on a pebble pool base the base should be buried in the ground and covered with the stone of your choice. The feature can then be positioned on top of it. If a pebble pool is required then we recommend using the Finia 1000, which is a heavy duty pool that can withstand the weight of a granite feature of this type. The Finia base provides a sump containing a reservoir of water for the feature and is available as an option with this feature.

 

A submersible pump is required to drive the water to the top of the feature and this will normally reside beneath the water level, inside the pebble pool base or garden pond. The pump is an optional extra, which comes with a length of flexible tube and 10m of cable for connection to a mains 240V supply. For installation the tube from the pump should connected to the base of the feature. The pump will then circulate water from the pond or pebble pool base up to top of the feature. This water cascades down and ultimately returns to the pond or pebble pool base.
