Filigree Water Wall

An irregular latticework of verdigris bronze forms an intricate screen behind which water flows over a reflective, mirror-polished, stainless-steel surface. It draws inspiration from the relationship between solid and void, emphasized by the artwork’s rich materials and patterns.

Lighting can be used to dramatic effect, creating an ethereal glow as light emanates from the apertures in the bronze.

Product information

Our water walls can be set up in various ways depending on whether a reservoir tank or basin is supplied with the piece. The water wall stands on a support in the reservoir tank or basin, and water circulates with the use of a pump. Tanks can be supplied that will connect to a water top-up, which contain a drain and overflow for safety and ease of maintenance. Softened water should be used to avoid any issue with limescale build-up.

Generally, there are three ways our water walls can be installed and set up. This is dependent on the overall look you would like to achieve, together with what the site allows. Water walls should be positioned against a wall for optimum stability.

Place the piece on a support and use a below-ground reservoir tank, which requires an excavated smooth and level foundation pad.
Place the piece on a support and use a polished, clad, or painted above-ground reservoir tank, which requires a smooth and level foundation pad or terrace. These are typically used where large excavation is difficult.
Place the piece on a support above an existing pool or pond of clean, filtered water. The pump simply draws water from the pool or pond and recirculates it.

For options 1 and 2 above, provision for a conduit to provide power to the pump, filter, and lights, as well as a water feed, needs to be made in the foundation pad.

Shipping quotes can be obtained and charged at cost.

At David Harber, we can provide a variety of filtration and maintenance solutions depending on your own installation and budget. A detailed Maintenance Manual will be provided at installation and is also available on request. It is essential that chlorinated water is not used with bronze water fountains. However, the level of chlorine in domestic tap water is fine.
