Fire and Water Features

Fire and water features combine the movement of flowing water with the warmth and visual appeal of a gas flame. Fire and water bowls are a popular choice for pools, patios and outdoor living spaces, with designs ranging from traditional copper bowls to contemporary GFRC fire and water features.

Our collection includes fire and water bowls with different water spill configurations, materials, sizes, and burner systems. Explore the options below to find a fire and water feature suited to your outdoor space.

Fire and water bowls combine a gas burner with a water feature in a single design. Depending on the model, water may flow through a spout, spill from a side opening, pass through multiple outlets or flow continuously over the bowl’s rim.

These features are particularly suited to pool areas and other outdoor spaces where the combination of flame, light, and moving water creates a distinctive focal point.

The way water leaves the bowl affects both its appearance and the sound of the feature. Common configurations include single-spout, multi-spout, scupper, and 360-degree spill designs.

A single spout directs water from one point on the bowl, creating a defined stream or spill.

A scupper allows water to flow through an opening in the side of the bowl, creating a broader sheet of water as it spills into the pool or basin below.

Some fire and water bowls use multiple spouts positioned around the bowl. Four-spout designs provide several individual streams of water for a more distributed effect.

With a 360-degree or overflow design, water flows evenly over the rim of the bowl, creating a continuous circular spill.

Fire and water features are available in several designs, including traditional fire bowls where water flows around or spills from the bowl and specialized fire-on-water systems where the flame appears to burn directly on the water’s surface.

HPC’s H2OnFire technology creates this distinctive fire-on-water effect, combining a visible flame with the movement of water in a single feature.

Fire and water features are available in a range of materials, shapes, and finishes, from traditional copper bowls to contemporary GFRC, stainless steel, and powder-coated metal designs.

• Copper: Copper fire and water features are available in both smooth and hammered finishes. Copper develops a natural patina over time, giving each piece a distinctive appearance that changes with age.
• GFRC: Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) combines concrete with reinforcing glass fibers to create strong, durable fire and water features. GFRC can also be formed into a range of shapes, colors, and finishes, making it suitable for both contemporary and traditional outdoor designs.
• Stainless Steel: Stainless steel fire and water features offer a clean, contemporary appearance and are well suited to modern outdoor designs.
• Powder-Coated Metal: Powder-coated metal features provide another option for adding color and finish to an outdoor space. Powder coating allows these features to be offered in a range of finishes and colors.

A little planning before installation can help ensure your fire and water feature works with the space and infrastructure available. Every model requires a water supply, while the available ignition options may determine whether an electrical connection is also needed.

Manual ignition systems can offer a simpler installation, while automated ignition systems may require electricity and additional components. Considering the ignition system, water supply, available utilities, and installation requirements before choosing your feature can help avoid complications later in the project.

Professional installation should follow the manufacturer’s requirements and applicable local codes, particularly for systems involving gas, plumbing or electrical connections.
