The Extra Large Babbling Bowl Rainbow Sandstone Water Feature stands 720mm across and delivers a gentle, continuous flow of water over its smooth rim. At £955, it arrives complete with pump and reservoir, ready to install.
Carved from natural rainbow sandstone, each bowl carries its own blend of warm earthy tones. The stone surface darkens when wet, adding depth and movement even before the water begins to flow. No two bowls look exactly alike.
Setting up is straightforward. Sink the reservoir into the ground or set it on a level patio, place the grid on top, and position the bowl. Connect the pump, fill with water, and switch on. The whole process takes under an hour.
At just 160mm tall, this bowl sits low and wide. It works well as a centrepiece on a patio or tucked into a gravel garden surrounded by planting. The gentle babbling sound masks background noise without overpowering conversation.
Sandstone handles frost, rain, and UV exposure without cracking or fading. We recommend draining the reservoir and disconnecting the pump over winter to protect the mechanical parts. The bowl itself can stay outdoors year-round.
Frequently asked questions
Does the sandstone babbling bowl need mains electricity?
Yes, the included pump requires a mains power supply. You will need an outdoor waterproof socket or an IP-rated extension lead within reach. A qualified electrician can install one if you do not already have power in the garden.
How heavy is the Extra Large Babbling Bowl?
Natural sandstone is heavy, so expect two people for lifting. The bowl sits on a reservoir grid, so no permanent fixing is needed. Place it on any firm, level surface such as paving, decking, or compacted gravel.
Can you leave a sandstone water feature outside in winter?
Yes, the sandstone bowl is frost resistant and can stay outdoors all year. Drain the reservoir and disconnect the pump before the first frost to prevent ice damage to the mechanical parts. Reconnect in spring when temperatures stay above freezing.
