Charcoal Bowl Tower Fountain

Four wide bowls stacked up a narrow charcoal column — the bowls do the catching, the column keeps the footprint down. Water pools in each one and tips over the rim to the next, and because the bowls sit at 12.6", 19.7", 26.8" and 33.5", the drops are spaced far enough apart that you hear four distinct notes rather than one continuous run.

The lighting is the part worth reading the numbers on. The LEDs run at 3100–3500K, which is warm white — the same range as a soft household bulb, not the blue-white you sometimes get on outdoor fixtures. They're set to make the water glow, not to light the patio.

Quick Specifications

Where It Earns Its Spot

At nearly three feet tall on a base barely over a foot square, this is height without spread — it works next to a door, at the edge of a porch, or beside seating where you want something vertical without giving up floor space. The bowls read best from standing height, so an entry or a path you walk past suits it better than a low seating area you look down from.

Check the cable before you choose the spot: 9.8 feet is generous but not unlimited, and running an outdoor extension cord across a walkway is worth avoiding at the planning stage rather than after assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What colour is the light?

Warm white — rated at 3100–3500K, the same warmth as a soft indoor bulb. There's no colour changing and no cool-white option; it's one consistent warm tone.

Will the LEDs light up my patio?

No, and they're not meant to. They add a soft glow through the water and across the bowls. Think of it as making the fountain visible after dark, not as garden lighting.

How far can it be from an outlet?

The cable is 118.1" — about 9.8 feet. Beyond that you'll need an outdoor-rated extension cord, so it's worth measuring from your outlet before you settle on a position.

How much assembly is involved?

Assembly is required — the bowls and column are seated and connected on site with the pump fitted into the base. It's a straightforward build, but set it in its final position before filling; 27.5 lbs plus water is not something you'll want to shuffle around afterwards.

Can I turn the water down?

Yes — the low-voltage pump has adjustable flow, so you can run it as a soft trickle between the bowls or open it up for a fuller cascade depending on how close you'll be sitting.
