Antique Fire Bucket Floating Tap Water Feature | Handmade in the UK | Includes Pump | Free UK Delivery
A genuine antique fire bucket. A solid brass gate valve wheel floating above it, water pouring endlessly from thin air. The Station is one of the most distinctive features in our range - and one of the most unusual water features you'll find anywhere.
Built to order using a real vintage fire bucket, paired with our brass gate valve floating tap assembly and finished with an optional extra original vintage fire sign. Each feature is truly unique because every vintage bucket is slightly different - a real piece of history.
What's Included
- Genuine antique fire bucket (style, size and patina will vary — each one is unique)
- Handmade gate valve floating tap assembly with 500mm tube
- Solid brass wheel & hand-soldered copper spout
- Vintage fire sign
- 1400LPH pump — low noise, 10m outdoor-rated cable
- Built-in filter sponge
- Setup instructions & 12-month warranty
The Sign Is Not Included As Standard And Is An Optional Extra
Because we source genuine antique fire buckets and signs, no two features are identical. Each bucket varies in style, slight size and patina, as does the sign. We hand pick the most characterful and well preserved examples we can find, all in solid watertight condition. The item you receive may differ slightly from the one pictured. Which when truly vintage - is sort of the point.
Lead times may occasionally be longer than our standard features depending on availability.
Drop us a message if you need it by a specific date, we can work with you for most deadlines.
Works in gardens, patios, courtyards, pub gardens, shop fronts and indoor displays. Fresh and salt water compatible.
The perfect gift for anyone who appreciates something genuinely rare and vintage, handmade and built to last.
