H50cm St Helens Sphere Stainless Steel Fire & Water Feature | Indoor/Outdoor Use by Ambienté©This stylish feature...
This elegant feature looks incredible all year round and can be used indoors and outdoors. Real flames flickering at the top and water spilling down the sides of the stainless steel sphere.
This feature comes complete with a pump, hose kit and reservoir containing everything you need to get it working immediately.
Note: This feature does not come with flame gel.
To fire-up simply pour some fire gel in the central inner container and light with a naked flame. The gel burns a smokeless, odourless and non-toxic flame suitable for indoor or outdoor use. The gel is made from ethanol with gelling agents, is environmentally friendly and produces no smoke when lit. It will burn a golden flame which is wind resistant and of consistent height.
Our fire gels are completely safe when treated with the respect that all naked flames deserve and when used in accordance with the instructions supplied. There are no toxins, smell or smoke. Therefore, using your burner indoors will not set off the smoke alarm making them safe to burn indoors.
To extinguish the flames, place the lid (supplied with the feature) over the inner container - the fire will be starved of oxygen and will go out within a couple of seconds.
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.

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 it's 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.
