About Resin Bowl Rusted
Pull the drainage plug and you have a broad planting dish. Seal it and you have a circulating water bowl. That single decision is what earns this piece its space on a residential patio, and lightweight Polystone Resin is what lets you change your mind a season later. The weathered rust finish is bonded into the composite rather than formed by rusting iron, so you get the warmth of oxidised metal without the weight of cast iron or rust runoff bleeding across the pavers around it.
Water setup is short work. The pump arrives pre-fitted, so there is nothing to plumb on delivery day, and the integrated LED lights sit beneath the moving water to throw a soft glow across the decorative accent balls once the light drops. Site it where you actually sit of an evening, not out in the middle of the lawn. Browse our water features and fountains range if you want something larger and recirculating, or contact us about a product or project to check what is on the floor in our Malaga showroom.
Can it be switched from water feature to planter later?
Yes, and it goes both ways. Running as a water feature, check the base drainage plug is sealed watertight before you add water, then set the pump and the decorative balls in place. Going the other direction, take the plug out and line the base with geotextile fabric so the soil keeps draining freely.
Will the rust finish mark light paving?
No. The rusted appearance is bonded within the Polystone Resin composite rather than formed by actual rusting iron, so there is nothing there to bleed. Light stone, concrete and timber decking stay clean through wet weather.
Where do the accent balls go once the water is running?
They rest directly in the bowl basin, grouped around the central bubbling outlet. That breaks the water flow into layers you can read from a seated height, and gives the integrated LED lights something to reflect off after dark.
What upkeep do the pump and LED lights need?
Rinse the pump intake filter monthly so fallen leaves and garden mulch do not choke it. Through hot summer weather, look at the water level every few days and replace what has evaporated: the pump motor has to stay fully submerged.
