Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does the pump come with the sphere?

No, the pump and reservoir system are not included and must be purchased separately.

How do I move this feature?

Due to the 220kg weight, we strongly recommend using mechanical lifting equipment like a pallet jack or a specialized stone dolly.

Can I leave the fountain out in winter?

While granite is durable, you should drain all water from the pump and tubing to prevent internal damage caused by freezing expansion.

What kind of maintenance does granite require?

Minimal maintenance is needed; simply wipe the surface to prevent the accumulation of moss or algae.

Is the color consistent with the photos?

As this is a natural stone product, individual units may exhibit slight variations in pattern and color tone.

Troubleshooting

Water flow is uneven across the sphere

Ensure the sphere is perfectly level. Even a slight tilt can cause water to pool on one side rather than flowing evenly.

Surface looks dull or dusty

Clean the granite with clean water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive brushes that could scratch the polished finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable natural stone construction built for longevity
  • High-finish polishing enhances visual appeal
  • Heavyweight design prevents accidental tipping
  • Pre-drilled core simplifies water feature installation

Cons

  • Extreme 220kg weight requires professional equipment or multiple people for placement
  • Requires purchase of separate pump and reservoir components
  • Natural stone variations mean every unit is unique in color and texture

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up this feature, you must first prepare a load-bearing base. Given the weight, a concrete pad or high-density reinforcement grid is required if placing it on soil.

  1. Level the ground where the reservoir will be placed.
  2. Install the water feature basin and pump system (sold separately).
  3. Use mechanical lifting equipment to place the 220kg sphere securely onto the pedestal or reservoir grid.
  4. Connect the internal tubing through the drilled center hole.

For care, wipe the granite with a soft cloth periodically to remove debris or algae buildup. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can affect the stone's finish or water safety. During winter months in freezing climates, it is recommended to drain the water system to prevent ice-related damage.
