This is about the 4th fountain continuous stream water feature I have tried in my efforts to provide the children with a constant steam of water without them having to stand at the taps....
So far I am really pleased with it so thought I'd pass it on:

Made by Gardman, its called 'cascading water urns water feature' cost around £26 from local garden centre. Very long flex for tucking out of sight, the water tight transformer box tucks inside the urn and would short the minute the circuit got interrupted (approved by an electrician)

I wedge it inside a deep plastic box so I can keep the water level high enough for the pump to pump it around . Also the heavy box filled with water stops it being toppled over easily

They spend ages filling up cups from the spout and filling other cups etc.... As before this has instantly become the most popular activity ...
Here's hoping the pump won't give way this time

Will try to post a pic

I'm sure it is but my phone is not down loading the photo. Every other detail seems exactly the same so well done blue bear!

The only drawback is you have to find small cups and jugs to fit under the spouts to collect the water but so far it's fab

Looks great and I have sockets all around the outside of my house now. We had special outdoor lockable power sockets fitted so we could plug in a water feature and use the electric mower and patio lights etc.

They are like these Waterproof Electrical Socket - WP22-01 - Nexus 2 Gang 13amp Double Pole Switched Socket (http://www.astra247.com/7635/Electrical/Outdoor-Weatherproof-Socket-Double-IP56/Double-Outdoor/?gclid=COedkNGj7LkCFTPItAodB20A2A)
