Frequently Asked Questions
How are Water Spirals made?
Each Water Spiral is made of solid copper tubing, with brass fittings and a steel ground spike. Simple yet strong, it is carefully built and tested by the Tasmanian craftspeople who make it.
What are the dimensions of each type of Water Spiral?
Large spirals are approx. 1.2 metres high and have an average 40cm head diameter. Depending upon the model and tap flow, they will water an area of 7-10 metres in diameter.
Courtyard Spirals are 65cm high, with a 28cm diameter. They can cover an area of 6-8 metres diameter.
You can take a look at Water Spirals in action, their sizes and water span on our Instagram page.
How do I assemble a Water Spiral?
When you receive your Water Spiral you will notice that its head fits simply into a brass spindle on the long copper stem. This is attached to a steel footplate and ground spike. A universal tap adapter (not included) screws onto the steel footplate and will attach to a 12mm hose.
