The Classic | Floating Tap Water Feature | Handmade in the UK | Includes Pump | Free UK Delivery
Water pouring endlessly from a tap suspended in mid-air. No visible pipe. No pond. No explanation. Just the kind of thing that makes people stop, stare, and immediately ask "how does that work?"
The Classic is our original floating tap water feature, handmade to order in the UK using a solid brass tap and hand-soldered copper spout. While imitators use plastic, every Floating Tap is built from real materials, finished by hand, and made to last outdoors for years.
Built Different
A proper, handmade water feature built from solid brass and copper - the same materials used in quality plumbing for a reason.
Hand painted, lacquered, and assembled to order, no two are exactly alike.
The Classic includes a whisper-quiet 1400LPH pump on a 9-metre outdoor-rated cable. Powerful enough to maintain the illusion perfectly, quiet enough that you'll only hear the water.

Collapsible content
How does the floating illusion work?
The water flows up through a hidden pipe inside the water column - the same pipe that supports the tap, that is in turn, supported by the pump. From any angle all you see is real water pouring from a floating tap with nothing holding it up. The illusion works from every direction and never gets old.
What container do I need?
Any watertight container deep enough to hide the pump - a minimum of 300mm deep and 300mm wide works well. Half barrels, stone troughs, large planters, ceramic pots and garden ponds all work perfectly as long as they are water tight. If you're not sure whether your container will work, drop us a message we are happy to help.
Is it difficult to set up?
Not at all. Most customers have it running within 15 minutes. Full step by step instructions are included with every feature - no plumber needed. If you get stuck at any point just get in touch and we'll happily walk you through it.
How long does it take to install?
Around 15 minutes from opening the box to water running. Fill your container, place the feature, plug in the pump and you're done. The Spring takes a little longer due to the digging required - allow around 30-45 minutes for that one.
How loud is the pump?
Very quiet. Each pump is specifically chosen for low operating noise - all you hear is the relaxing sound of running water. No major hum, no mechanical noise.
How much does it cost to run?
Our Solar options don't cost anything to run. Our wired in pumps use very little electricity - roughly the same as a low energy light bulb. Running it all day costs just a few pence.
How tall are they?
Our standard features are supplied with a 500mm long tube. Making the feature stand around 650mm from the base of the pump to the top of the tap. Our largest are 1000mm tall. See our range for specific features.
What is it made from?
Every feature is built from solid brass and hand-soldered copper - the same materials used in quality plumbing. There is no plastic in the tap or spout assembly. Each feature is hand painted, lacquered, and assembled to order by us in the UK. The pump is a high quality proven unit specifically chosen for reliability and low noise.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes - we ship worldwide. International orders are dispatched from the UK and delivery times vary by destination.Contact us for a shipping quote to your country.
How long does delivery take?
UK orders are typically dispatched within 3-5 working days as each feature is handmade to order. Sent out on a 24hr tracked service. International orders vary by destination but we always aim for your feature to reach you as soon as possible. If you need your feature by a specific date - for a birthday, Christmas, or an event -let us knowwhen ordering and we'll do our best to accommodate. The Station may occasionally have a slightly longer lead time depending on availability of the anitque parts.
What if something goes wrong?
Every feature comes with a 12 month warranty on the pump and the tap assembly. If anything isn't right just get in touch and we'll sort it out - we're a small team and take customer service and satisfaction seriously.
Does it work indoors?
Does it work indoors?
Yes - it works indoors and outdoors equally well. Indoors it works particularly well in a large decorative bowl, ceramic pot or stone trough. The pump is whisper quiet so it won't disturb a room. The only thing to bear in mind indoors is minor water splash around the container - a drip tray underneath solves this completely.
Can it go in an existing pond?
Absolutely - all our features can be easily incorporated into an existing pond setup. The pump can be situated onto any flat surface base. The tube length can be adjusted if needed -contact us before ordering if you have a specific pond depth and we'll make sure everything works for your setup.
