Stainless Steel Spheres Water Features

Fountain spheres with an internal pipe and funnel top so water sheets evenly over the whole mirror surface.

Stainless Steel Spheres Water Features made by Shenzhen Maoping Sculpture Arts Co., Ltd.

Overview

A sphere water feature is a hollow steel ball sitting on a pedestal tube with water rippling and flowing over the mirror surface. Ours are made from AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel.

An inner pipe runs through the ball and ends in a funnel at the top. That funnel is what makes the flow even, so the water sheets over the whole sphere rather than running down one side. The pipe exits at the bottom, usually with a further 10 inch length, and attaches to a square stainless base plate for mounting.

Who This Category Is For

  • Landscape architects designing plaza and garden water features
  • Shopping centre and hotel developers
  • Science museums and visitor attractions
  • Private garden clients through their contractor

Problems It Solves

  • Water running down one face instead of sheeting evenly. The funnel top fixes the flow distribution.
  • Mounting a heavy wet sphere. A square base plate and extended pipe are built into the assembly.
  • Water marks on a mirror finish. A brushed surface hides mineral deposits and adds texture.

Why Buy From Maoping

  • Every unit is custom built, so pipe length and base plate size follow your detail
  • Brushed or mirror, plus sandblasting, colouring and etching for pattern work
  • Optional rotation on the sphere

Application Scenarios

  • City squares and public plazas
  • Shopping centres and lobbies
  • Science museums and tourist destinations
  • Gardens and courtyards

Stainless Steel Spheres Water Features FAQ

Do you supply the pump?
The sphere, inner pipe, funnel, outlet pipe and base plate are fabricated by us. Pump selection is normally handled locally to match your water volume and power supply.
Mirror or brushed for a fountain?
Brushed gives the fountain more texture and is more forgiving with water marks. Mirror gives the strongest reflection. Both are standard.
Can the sphere rotate?
Yes, a rotating system can be implemented on request.
Can we etch a pattern or a logo into the sphere?
Yes. Any desired design can be sandblasted, coloured or etched onto the fountain ball.
