Aqualens Sphere Fountain by Allison Armour
The Aqualens Sphere Fountain is part water feature and part artwork. An Aqualens makes a fantastic addition to any garden, big or small, and works throughout the year, including in freezing conditions.
Every Aqualens features a marine-grade 316 stainless steel dish that includes a 5-year warranty against rust. Similar fountains from other websites often use lower-quality steel that will rust relatively quickly. Insist on 316 stainless steel if you want your fountain to last.

Sphere Fountain Details
The Aqualens Sphere Fountain comes standard with a 2 foot (60cm) sphere, filled and overflowing with water from a concealed pump. The orb is set on a circular stainless steel platform, which in turn is set in a 1.5metre (5 feet) diameter stainless steel dish. The dish can be dug into a lawn, or set on a terrace or other firm level surface as the pool has a fitted collar so it sits level.
The pictured Aqualens is 5-feet in diameter which is the largest sphere we offer. It makes an incredible garden or patio centerpiece!
Allison also offers the Aquasphere which is set in a square base and can have a recessed overflow so it appears as though the sphere is floating on the ground.
Fountain Options
The 3 standard Aqualens sphere fountain dish sizes are 4 foot (1.2m), 5 foot (1.5m) and 6 foot (2m) but I can make any size dish and sphere and customize it in a variety of ways. It can also be made to overflow into another pool.
