This very popular sphere water feature design has been re-imagined with a beautiful marble stone finish. Made from stainless steel that has been electroplated with natural stone powder, the attractive finish gives a more subtle look to the water feature. Much lighter than solid stone and easier to position in your garden, this lovely water feature is sure to make a statement wherever you place it. The LEDs included in this feature mean you can enjoy it no matter the weather or time of day - the LEDs light up the lightly bubbling water.
The reservoir includes a lid to cover the pump and support pebbles or slate chippings (not included). Alternatively, place the reservoir inside a planter or surround, to remove the need for digging.
A lot of water features come pre-assembled for the most part, with just a little hose/pump connecting to do before plugging it in to a solar panel or mains socket. Some of our bigger ones require wiring in a plug (which might involve a Part P Certified electrician), but otherwise all instructions will be included.

The stone coating this water feature has been applied using a technique called electrolysis. Natural stone is crushed into a fine powder, then electroplated directly onto the feature. No resin in sight, and little risk of weather damage to this water feature. The stone finish is a lightweight alternative to solid stone, and a wonderful take on the traditional design.

To create our high specification, long-lasting water features, we use 304-grade stainless steel which contains high levels of chromium making it resistant to corrosion.
Stainless steel is very resistant to rust because the chromium in the metal reacts with oxygen to form a protective layer. If this layer is broken down by mechanical damage or a powerful cleaning agent and rust does appear, simply remove the rust and the chromium oxide layer will reform.
As well as its hard-wearing features, grade 304 stainless steel is perfect for both contemporary and classical water feature designs, the highly polished finish of stainless steel is great for reflecting light into shaded areas of the garden.
