Water Features

Be sure to consult relevant authorities about safety regulations which may apply to to water features where you live. Building, plumbing, electrical and other regulations may also apply.

Another danger with static water-filled objects is that they could become breeding spots for mosquitoes. Small features can be filled for special occasions and emptied afterwards. Chemical treatments may be an option if water is going to be standing for an extended period. Large tubs and ponds may be able to accomodate small fish that feed on mosquito larvae. Ask your local aquarium supplier about suitable species and their care.
