Stainless steel sphere water feature delivering 700 LPH flow with a 25W remote solar panel, LiFePO4 battery backup, and self-contained underground reservoir.
Place the self-contained underground reservoir in the ground and set the sphere on the support grid to create a clean, integrated look at the installation point. Position the remote solar panel where it can receive the best available sunlight, then adjust the pump’s flow to suit the kind of water movement you want on the sphere’s surface.
Manufactured from stainless steel with a smooth reflective finish, the sphere
creates a continuous flowing effect as water moves evenly across the surface.
The larger 40cm diameter enhances visual impact while maintaining a calm,
balanced appearance.

Solar Power & Battery System
A high-output solar panel supplies power to the pump while charging the
integrated battery. Energy collected during daylight hours is stored to help
maintain water flow when sunlight levels fluctuate. Performance depends on
panel positioning and available sunlight.

Your battery-backed water display combines solar energy with intelligent power storage to deliver reliable performance throughout the day and into the evening. Below is a simple guide to help you understand how it operates and how to achieve the best results year-round.
1. Basic Operating Principle
Integrated Solar Power System
Solar panel converts sunlight into usable electrical energy
Built-in rechargeable battery stores surplus daytime power
Smart controller manages solar and battery usage automatically
Variable-flow pump adjusts output based on available energy
Performance reduces on very cloudy or heavily overcast days
Water Circulation System
Self-contained reservoir continuously recycles water
Submersible pump draws water from the base
Water travels through concealed tubing to the display outlet
Water naturally returns to the reservoir below
Regular water top-ups maintain safe pump operation
Efficient Display Operation
Designed for smooth, decorative water flow
Optimised balance between power usage and visual effect
Integrated design reduces water loss
Low-voltage system for safe garden use
2. Seasonal Operation
Peak Season (May–August)
Longest running times with strongest sunlight
Optimal operation typically between 9am–6pm
Battery supports evening running
Most consistent performance in bright summer conditions
Output still reduces during heavy cloud
Spring & Autumn
Shorter daily runtime due to lower sun angle
Best operation typically between 10am–4pm
Battery helps maintain steadier flow
Cloudy days may shorten or pause operation
Panel angle becomes more important
Winter Considerations
Limited operation on bright, clear days only
Requires direct midday sun and correct positioning
Not designed for reliable winter performance
Store indoors if frost or freezing is expected
3. Optimising Performance
Seasonal Panel Positioning (UK)
Summer: 20–30° tilt
Spring/Autumn: Around 40°
Winter: Around 60°
Always face the panel due south
Avoid any shading throughout the day
Battery Management
Allow full charging during sunny periods
Reduce flow rate in low-light months if adjustable
Monitor runtime to understand seasonal changes
Store fully charged if removing for winter
General Maintenance
Clean the solar panel regularly with a soft cloth
Maintain correct water levels at all times
Check pump intake and tubing for debris
Inspect cables and connections seasonally
4. Intelligent Power Management
Daytime Operation
Solar power runs the pump directly
Excess energy charges the internal battery
Output automatically adapts to light levels
Evening Operation
Automatic transition to battery power
Consistent decorative flow after sunset
Smart control extends available runtime
Protection & Safety
Low-water protection helps prevent pump damage
Battery protection against overcharge and deep discharge
Automatic system management with minimal input required
