The Engineering of Luxury: Safety and Performance
Modern Fire & Water features are more than decorative accents; they are sophisticated engineering solutions designed for high-performance outdoor living. By integrating gas-powered fire systems with recirculating water spillways, these units create a dynamic contrast that performs year-round.
These all-in-one systems are pre-engineered for full component compatibility, simplifying installation and ensuring reliable long-term operation.
Design Excellence: GFRC and Precision Steel
Durability is critical when combining heat and moisture. Fire & Water features are manufactured using materials selected for structural stability and extended outdoor performance:
- GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete): Delivers a natural stone aesthetic while remaining resistant to heat exposure and extreme freeze–thaw cycles.
- Precision Stainless Steel: Utilized for spillways and internal components to resist corrosion and maintain smooth, laminar water flow.
- Smart Ignition Systems: Optional automated ignition enables fire control via remote control or smart-home devices.

Where Fire & Water Features Are Used
These installations are designed as architectural focal points and are commonly integrated into:
- Private patios and backyard lounge areas
- Hotel and resort courtyards
- Restaurant and rooftop terraces
- Entrance groups and commercial plazas
- Pool and SPA zones
Installation & Technical Requirements
Fire & Water features require proper utility preparation before installation. Most systems require:
- A gas line (propane or natural gas)
- An electrical connection for the pump and ignition system
- A closed-loop water circuit for recirculation
Installation should be performed by a certified gas technician. When all utilities are prepared in advance, physical installation typically takes one working day. Because these systems are pre-engineered, component compatibility and basic hydraulic balance are already calculated.
Cold Climate & Seasonal Use
These systems are engineered to operate across diverse climates, including regions with harsh winters. GFRC and stainless steel components tolerate repeated freeze–thaw cycles without structural damage.
- Drain water lines and the recirculation system before winter.
- Protect the burner area with a cover during the cold season.
- The structural bowl and exterior components can remain outdoors year-round.
Maintenance & Daily Operation
Routine maintenance is straightforward and ensures both fire and water systems operate safely and efficiently:
- Seasonal inspection of ignition and gas connections
- Periodic cleaning of spillways to maintain smooth water flow
- Basic pump and filter checks within the recirculation system
- Occasional water top-offs to compensate for evaporation
With proper seasonal care, these features remain stable, low-maintenance architectural elements suitable for both residential and commercial landscapes.
Built for North American Standards
All fire components are designed to meet North American safety standards, ensuring reliable performance in both Canadian winters and Southern US climates. These pre-engineered Fire & Water systems are built for clean combustion, efficient water recirculation, and long-term outdoor durability.
Fire & Water features combine high-efficiency gas burners with closed-loop water circulation to create a visually striking yet practical outdoor installation. Designed for demanding climates, these systems serve as durable, low-maintenance architectural accents for modern landscapes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are fire and water features safe for residential use?
Yes. Our systems are engineered with safety shut-off valves and use certified gas components. We offer both manual and automated ignition systems designed for residential and commercial safety standards.
Can I use Propane or Natural Gas?
Most of our fire and water bowls are compatible with both Liquid Propane (LP) and Natural Gas (NG). Please specify your fuel type when ordering to ensure the correct orifice and burner setup.
How do these features handle cold climates and winter?
Our GFRC and steel components are built for freeze-thaw cycles. During winter in Canada and the Northern US, we recommend draining the water lines and using a protective cover for the burner area.
Can the fire and water be operated independently?
Yes, most professional systems allow you to run the water spillway independently from the fire element, giving you full control over the atmosphere of your space.
What is the typical installation time?
While the physical placement is fast, installation requires a certified gas technician for the fuel lines. Total setup typically takes 1 day once the gas and electric lines are prepped.
