AQUA MODA ATERNO / BATTERY-BACKED SOLAR

Solar Aterno 75cm Polished Steel Sphere Water Feature

A statement 75cm mirrored sphere with a powerful battery-backed solar system and discreet ground-level installation.

The Solar Aterno 75cm Polished Steel Sphere Water Feature brings statement scale to the solar Aterno collection. At 75cm diameter, it has enough visual presence for larger gardens, mature planting and selected commercial settings while retaining the clean simplicity of a single polished sphere.

Made from grade 304 stainless steel, the highly polished surface reflects planting, architecture and changing skies while water flows continuously across the sphere. The reservoir installs below ground and can be concealed with decorative pebbles, allowing the sphere to appear naturally integrated into the surrounding landscape.

Power comes from the supplied 800LPH battery-backed solar pump system, giving you freedom from a permanent mains electrical cable while offering considerably more control than a basic direct-solar fountain.

Sphere 75cm Diameter

Material 304 Stainless Steel

Reservoir 52 × 22cm

Solar Pump 800LPH

Lighting 6-LED Uplight

The heavy-duty reservoir installs below ground level and can be finished with decorative pebbles for a clean, integrated appearance.

WHY CHOOSE THE SOLAR 75CM ATERNO?

Statement scale with a cleaner, landscape-integrated finish.

The 75cm is the largest of our regular solar polished spheres and works especially well where the feature needs to remain visually important amongst larger planting or across a longer viewing distance.

01 STATEMENT SCALE

More visual presence

The 75cm diameter creates a noticeably stronger focal point than the 45cm and 56cm spheres, particularly in larger gardens and landscaped spaces.

02 INTEGRATED INSTALLATION

Reservoir disappears below ground

Once installed, decorative pebbles can conceal the reservoir so attention remains on the polished sphere rather than the water-storage system.

03 BATTERY-BACKED SOLAR

No permanent mains cable

The 800LPH solar system stores energy in its rechargeable battery, giving you greater freedom over where the feature can be positioned.

BURIED-RESERVOIR INSTALLATION

A 75cm sphere appearing directly from the landscape.

The heavy-duty reservoir sits beneath finished ground level, allowing decorative pebbles or surrounding landscaping to meet the base of the sphere. The result is a lower, cleaner installation where the polished form becomes the main visual focus.

Ground-level finish The reservoir is hidden rather than becoming part of the visible feature.

Ideal amongst planting Particularly effective where the sphere needs to feel integrated into a border or designed landscape.

Self-contained system Water continuously recirculates between the concealed reservoir and sphere.

SUPPLIED WITH OUR 800LPH SOLAR SYSTEM

Battery-backed solar with more control than a basic solar fountain.

The supplied 800LPH brushless pump is paired with an 8W solar panel and rechargeable battery control unit. During good daylight the panel can power the system while charging the battery, allowing stored solar energy to continue running the feature when sunlight levels fall.

Maximum Flow 800 litres/hour

Maximum Lift Up to 200cm

Solar Panel 8W

Motor Brushless

Flow Control Variable

Battery Operation Up to approx. 4 hours*

01 BATTERY BACKUP

Store solar energy

A fully charged battery can provide up to approximately four hours of operation without sunlight, depending on flow setting, lighting use and battery condition.

02 TIMER MODE

Choose when it operates

Use the timer function when you want more control over when the feature runs rather than relying entirely on immediate sunlight.

03 VARIABLE FLOW

Adjust the water effect

Fine-tune the pump output to achieve your preferred water flow over the 75cm sphere and balance performance against stored battery energy.

04 LED LIGHTING

Separate six-LED uplight

Position the included uplight independently around the base of the sphere to illuminate the flowing water and polished steel after dark.

RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS

Large enough to work beyond the typical domestic patio.

The 75cm sphere has enough scale for substantial private gardens and selected commercial settings where a strong polished focal point is required.

PRIVATE GARDENS

Larger garden focal points

Ideal for mature planting, broad borders and longer views where smaller spheres could become visually lost.

HOTELS & HOSPITALITY

Courtyards & terraces

A polished focal point for guest areas and landscaped spaces where the reservoir can be discreetly integrated below ground.

SCHOOLS & EDUCATION

Landscaped communal spaces

Suitable for courtyards and landscaped areas where a substantial reflective feature can be viewed from several directions.

OFFICES & BUSINESSES

Commercial landscapes

Add water, movement and reflection to landscaped entrances, courtyards and external breakout spaces.

POSITION THE FEATURE, THEN THE PANEL

The sphere itself does not need to sit in full sun.

Position the Aterno where it works best within the landscape, then place the separate solar panel nearby in a brighter position with good direct sunlight.

Feature Position Choose the sphere location around the landscape design rather than around the position of a mains electrical socket.

Solar Panel Position Place the panel in an open position with good direct sunlight and minimise prolonged shade from trees or buildings.

4.5m Pump Cable The pump connects to the battery control unit with approximately 4.5m of cable.

2m Panel Cable The solar panel connects separately to the control unit, allowing its position to be optimised for sunlight.

5m LED Cable The separate six-LED uplight has approximately 5m of cable from the battery control unit.

UK Weather Solar performance naturally varies according to season, cloud cover, panel orientation and available direct sunlight.

PREFER NOT TO DIG?

Choose the Solar Aterno 75cm sphere with steel base.

The raised version uses the same polished 75cm sphere and 800LPH battery-backed solar system but houses the reservoir within a matching polished stainless-steel base. This removes the need to excavate and increases the complete feature to approximately 97cm overall height.

VIEW SOLAR 75CM + STEEL BASE

SOLAR OR MAINS?

Choose the power source around the site and how you want to use the feature.

Both versions use the same 75cm polished Aterno sphere. Solar prioritises positioning flexibility, while mains power provides operation independent of solar charging conditions.

BATTERY-BACKED SOLAR

Greater freedom over positioning

Ideal where installing permanent mains power at the preferred location would be inconvenient. Battery backup also gives considerably more flexibility than a basic direct-solar system.

YOU'RE VIEWING THE SOLAR VERSION

MAINS POWER

Consistent operation throughout the day

Choose the mains-powered 75cm Aterno where a suitable electrical supply is available and you want performance that is independent of solar charging conditions.

VIEW 75CM MAINS SPHERE

COMPARE SOLAR ATERNO SPHERES

Choose the sphere to match the scale of the garden.

The 45cm works best in tighter spaces, the 56cm provides a versatile middle ground, and the 75cm becomes the statement solar option for larger gardens and selected commercial landscapes.

Compact

OUR SIZING TIP

The 75cm sphere works particularly well where the water feature will be viewed from further away or surrounded by mature planting. If you prefer a more discreet feature close to a patio or seating area, the 56cm may be better proportioned. For a much stronger architectural statement, move to the 100cm mains-powered Aterno.
