Water feature error

If you have a "solid" water feature such as a rock or something made form concrete it should have a "well" at the top. Here is why.

Although in this demonstration picture it has a copper bowl you can clearly see the water jet is too powerful. Turning the pump down does help but this often reduces the water flow too much. If not the water will go up too high and splash all the surrounding areas also it may empty the sump

In this picture you can see the water is not so violent and runs gently over the sides. This is because the feature has a well. (But for this demonstration picture the well is inverted, which also means you can see its effect easier) The well is just an area of the feature that is "cut out"  below the finished level. It reduces the water velocity but not the water volume.
