Chelsea 2003 was an interesting project - a collaboration with the garden designers.  The project involved rills which supplied a central tank and then fed two tiny water features.  It was quite a challenge to create a pumping feature which filled the central tank and yet to allowed the satellite tanks sufficient water to look right but low enough so the waterfall effect could be maintained.  

In addition, behind the waterfalls themselves I needed to create a constant bubble effect, which generated a hollow look to the water falling in to the next reel.  It was very difficult to balance the dimensions with the quantities of water, for the desired effect.  But as you can see, we achieved it.

Under construction, the stainless steel water feature Flow testing of tank in stainless steel water feature SUfficient flow to rovide the all important bubble effect in a stainless steel water feature When the client is happy - only then am I satisfied with my stainless steel water features
