A complete slate sphere water feature in two sizes, ready to plug in and enjoy, with everything you need included in one box.
Buying a slate sphere water feature usually means juggling a sphere, a pump, a reservoir and a light kit from different places, then hoping they all fit together. It is easy to end up with the wrong size reservoir or a pump that does not suit the sphere. This kit removes that guesswork. Everything is matched and boxed together, so you get one simple purchase and a garden water feature that works as soon as it is set up. You just pick the size that suits your space.
What Comes in the Box?
Whichever size you choose, the kit includes the slate sphere, a water pump, LED lights, a reservoir and a support grid. Nothing extra to source or match up yourself.
You will not need to hunt down a compatible pump or guess at reservoir sizes. Everything has already been sized to work together, so you can go straight from delivery to a working water feature.


Which Size Is Right for My Garden?
The 50cm sphere measures 50cm across, tall and deep. The 60cm sphere adds 10cm in every direction, giving it a noticeably bigger presence.
The 50cm is a good fit for most patios and medium borders where you want a focal point without a major redesign. The 60cm suits larger gardens, wider borders or open lawns where a smaller sphere might get lost. Not sure? Measure the space and picture a beach ball of each size sitting in it.
How Does the Water Feature Work?
The pump sits in the reservoir below ground level and pushes water up through the sphere. From there, it cascades down over the textured slate surface and drains back into the hidden reservoir underneath, ready to go round again.
It is a self-contained loop, so there is no plumbing to a water supply and no ongoing water bill to worry about. The LED lights sit in the reservoir too, lighting the water from below once it gets dark.


How Heavy Is It, and Where Should It Go?
The 50cm kit weighs around 50-60kg and the 60cm kit around 65kg, so both need a firm, level spot rather than loose gravel or soft ground. Both sizes use the same reservoir, so the hole you dig is the same either way.
Choosing the right spot before delivery day makes setup much easier. A flat, level base means the reservoir sits securely and the water flows evenly over the sphere from day one. It is also worth having a second pair of hands ready for lifting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Included in the Box?
Everything you need is included: the slate sphere, a water pump, LED lights, a reservoir and a support grid. This applies to both the 50cm and 60cm sizes.
Do Both Sizes Use the Same Reservoir?
Yes. Both the 50cm and 60cm spheres sit on the same 67cm reservoir and 70cm grid, so the space you need to dig out is the same for either size.
How Long Does Delivery Take?
Delivery normally takes around 2-4 weeks for either size.
Is the Water Feature Covered by a Warranty?
Yes, the pump and lights come with a 1 year warranty.
Will My Sphere Look Exactly Like the Photos?
Not exactly. As the slate is a natural material, colour and texture vary slightly from sphere to sphere.
Does the Reservoir Need to Be Dug into the Ground?
Yes, the reservoir sits below ground level so the grid sits flush with your patio or border. You will need to dig a hole to house it before installation.
