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.

FAQs
The Set Up
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.
