9.8 inches tall on an 8" × 8" base, with one design element that distinguishes it from every static fountain in this series: an LED-illuminated glass orb that spins continuously on top of the cascading water. The water flow physically drives the orb's rotation — this isn't a decorative ball placed on a fountain, it's a moving component participating in the water dynamics. Below the orb, an internal LED illuminates the glass from underneath, so the spinning sphere glows softly as it turns.
The visual logic is different from a standard multi-tier fountain. Static cascades produce a beautiful but predictable image — once you've seen one minute of it, you've seen the rest. The orb introduces continuous variation: the rotation speed changes subtly with water flow, the glass catches light differently at every angle, and the slow visible movement gives the eye something to track without demanding attention. For desk placement during focus work or break moments, that ongoing micro-movement holds visual interest longer than a static design would.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the rolling ball splash water onto my electronics?
No. The water flow is calibrated specifically to spin the orb without throwing water out of the basin — the orb's rotation actually helps contain water within the basin walls rather than causing splash. The deep internal basin design captures all water within the rock structure. This is a fully splash-free design suitable for desk placement near electronics.
Can I control how fast the orb spins?
Yes. The adjustable submersible pump lets you control the water flow rate, which directly affects the orb's rotation speed. Higher flow produces faster rotation and a more active visual effect; lower flow produces slower, more meditative rotation. Many owners adjust this throughout the day — slower during focused work, faster when they want more visible movement.
Is the orb made of real glass?
The orb has a glass-like appearance with smooth surface and clear light transmission for the LED illumination effect. The combination of clarity, weight, and water-driven rotation behavior is engineered to give it the optical and physical character of real glass while remaining safe for daily use. Specific material details are available in the product packaging documentation.
How loud is the pump in a quiet room?
The whisper-quiet submersible pump runs below typical room ambient noise — quieter than a refrigerator hum or desktop computer fan. In a quiet bedroom or office, the water sound dominates over any pump noise. If pump noise becomes audible, it usually indicates the water level has dropped too low and the pump is partially exposed; topping up the basin returns it to silent operation.
