Fire and Water Bowls: Sizes, Materials & Cost Guide (2026)

The price of a fire and water bowl depends on four choices: shape, size, material and ignition. This guide walks through each one using the real options and prices on our store.

If you want to know how the water and flame work together and how a pool builder connects one, read our fire and water bowls for pools guide first. Here we focus on choosing and cost.

What is a fire and water bowl?

A fire and water bowl is a gas fire bowl with a built-in water spillway. A gas flame burns in the center while water flows over a scupper or the rim into a pool, spa or basin. Every model in this guide is made by The Outdoor Plus, runs on natural gas or liquid propane, and comes with match lit or low voltage electronic ignition.

Shapes and models

The Outdoor Plus range on our store breaks down into six shapes. Each has its own look and its own price level.

Cazo (round)

A smooth, round bowl with a single spillway. It is offered in GFRC concrete (24, 31 and 36 inches), GFRC wood grain (24 and 32 inches), powder coat (24, 30 and 36 inches) and hammered copper (24, 30 and 36 inches). It is the most flexible family if you are still deciding on a finish.

Sedona (round)

A round bowl with a copper scupper. Sizes are 27 and 33 inches in GFRC concrete, 27 inches in GFRC wood grain, powder coat and hammered copper, plus a large 48-inch powder coat version rated up to 90,000 BTU.

Maya (square)

The Maya has a square footprint, listed as 24 x 24, 30 x 30 and 36 x 36 inches. It comes in GFRC concrete (24, 30, 36), GFRC wood grain (24, 30), powder coat (24, 30, 36) and hammered copper (24, 30, 36). Pick it when your pool has straight lines and you want the bowl to match.

Linear Maya (long rectangle)

A long, tapered rectangle with a wide sheet of water across the front. It comes in 48, 60 and 72-inch lengths and a 20 or 30-inch width. GFRC is offered in the 20-inch widths; powder coat, hammered copper and stainless steel come in both widths. The 48 x 20-inch GFRC model has a 30-inch burner rated up to 50,000 BTU and a 36-inch spillway.

48-inch Cazo 360°

Instead of one spillway, water spills evenly over the entire rim, with the flame raised on a center fire ring. It measures 48 inches across and 16 inches high on a 20-inch base and is rated up to 40,000 BTU. It is offered in GFRC, in 18 colors at the same price. See the 48-inch Cazo 360°.

Sedona Fire & Water Pit, 4-way spill (46 and 60 inches)

The largest round option. Four 8-inch copper spillways pour water on every side while an 18-inch stainless burner, rated up to 65,000 BTU, burns in the center. The spec sheet lists 40 GPM through a 1 1/2-inch fitting, which your pool builder will use to size the pump. It comes in 18 GFRC colors. See the 46-inch Sedona 4-way spill.

Which size do you need?

With a fire and water bowl, size is less about seating and more about how the bowl reads from the house, the lounge chairs and the far side of the pool.

Pairs and rows are common: two bowls framing steps or a wall, or three along a pool edge. Budget for each bowl and each water and gas connection. For a side-by-side look at the three round families, see Cazo vs Sedona vs Maya.

Materials and finishes

GFRC concrete. Glass fiber reinforced concrete, hand-cast and finished in 18 colors: Black, Chestnut, Gray, Ash, Natural Gray, Limestone, Brown, Chocolate, Vanilla, four Rustic tones (Coffee, Gray, White, Moss Stone) and five Metallics (Pearl, Silver, Slate, Bronze, Copper). On most GFRC bowls, the Rustic and Metallic colors add about $345 over the standard colors (about $330 on the 33-inch Sedona). Hand finishing means each piece varies slightly. Use a breathable cover only. Our GFRC winter care guide covers the rest.

GFRC wood grain. The same concrete cast with a timber texture, in Ebony, Ivory or Oak. Offered on the Cazo (24, 32 in), Sedona (27 in) and Maya (24, 30 in).

Powder coat. A crisp, even color. The round Cazo, Sedona 27 and Maya bowls come in 15 colors, including Matte Black, Gloss Black, White, Copper Vein and Sapphire Blue. The Sedona 48-inch and the Linear Maya powder coat models come in 20 colors. The color does not change the price.

Hammered copper. Hand-hammered copper that develops a natural patina over time. Offered on the Cazo and Maya (24, 30, 36 in), the Sedona (27 in) and every Linear Maya size. Browse the hammered copper fire bowls.

Stainless steel. Offered only on the Linear Maya, in all six sizes from 48 x 20 to 72 x 30 inches. It suits modern, minimal pool designs.

Match lit vs electronic ignition

Every model is offered in two ignition types, and this is the single biggest price jump you control.

Match lit: you open the gas with a key and light the burner with a long lighter. It is the lowest price and has the fewest parts.

Low voltage electronic ignition (CSA certified): you start the flame with a switch or button. On almost every fire and water bowl we sell it adds $2,105 to the match lit price; on the 33-inch Sedona GFRC it adds about $2,280. It also needs low voltage power at the bowl, so plan an electrician. Example: the 31-inch Cazo in a standard GFRC color is $2,691 match lit and $4,796 with electronic ignition (prices as of October 2026).

Propane vs natural gas

Every model is available for natural gas or liquid propane, and the price is the same for both. Choose the fuel you have. Natural gas needs a gas line run to the bowl; propane needs a tank you refill and hide out of sight. Either way, gas connections should be made by a licensed gas fitter or plumber, and local codes apply. Fire glass is not recommended with liquid propane.

Prices by family and material

These are the lowest current prices on our store, which means match lit ignition and a standard color. Prices as of October 2026; check the product page or ask for a quote for your exact build.

GFRC is the entry point in every family; copper and stainless cost the most. The most expensive build we list is the 72 x 30-inch Linear Maya in hammered copper with electronic ignition at $11,195.

What else to budget for

The bowl price is only part of the project. Each product page lists exactly what comes in the box. On the large models, for example the 48-inch Cazo 360° and the 48-inch Sedona, that is the bowl, fire pan, burner, gas hose and orifice, plus a mounting bracket and lava rock. Plan for the following with your contractors, because they are not part of the bowl:

• Gas line and connection by a licensed gas fitter or plumber (natural gas), or a propane tank setup.
• Pump, plumbing and basin. Your pool contractor connects the water supply. Each spec lists a flow rate, from 7 to 10 GPM on single-scupper bowls to 40 GPM on the Sedona 4-way spill.
• Electrician for low voltage power if you choose electronic ignition.
• Pillars, walls or pedestals the bowl sits on, built by your mason or pool builder.
• Extras such as fire glass, a breathable cover and a key valve (sold separately; factory key valve installation is available on request on many models).

Costs for this work vary a lot by region and site, so ask your contractors for written quotes before you order.

FAQ

How much does a fire and water bowl cost?

As of October 2026, The Outdoor Plus fire and water bowls at Chic Home Deco start from $2,497 for a 24-inch Cazo in GFRC concrete with match lit ignition. Round copper bowls start from $3,390, Linear Maya models from $4,707, and the 60-inch Sedona 4-way spill fire and water pit from $8,163. Installation, plumbing and the pump are extra.

How much more does electronic ignition cost on a fire and water bowl?

On most models, low voltage electronic ignition adds $2,105 over the match lit version of the same bowl. On the 33-inch Sedona GFRC it adds about $2,280. You can light it with a switch or button instead of a key and lighter, and an electrician needs to bring low voltage power to the bowl.

Is propane or natural gas cheaper for a fire and water bowl?

The bowl costs the same either way: every model is offered for natural gas or liquid propane at the same price. The difference is installation. Natural gas needs a gas line run by a licensed professional, while propane needs a tank you refill and hide out of sight.

What size fire and water bowl should I buy?

Choose by where the bowl will be seen from. 24 to 27-inch bowls suit spa edges, small pools and pairs on pillars. 30 to 36-inch bowls hold their own on a standard pool deck. 46 to 60-inch round bowls and Linear Maya models up to 72 inches are made for large pools, raised walls and long reflecting basins.

Which material is best for a fire and water bowl?

GFRC concrete is the most affordable and comes in 18 colors. GFRC wood grain adds a timber texture in Ebony, Ivory or Oak. Powder coat gives a crisp color in 15 or 20 options. Hammered copper develops a natural patina, and stainless steel is offered on the Linear Maya.

How long does a fire and water bowl take to arrive?

The Outdoor Plus fire and water bowls are built to order in Southern California and usually ship in 3 to 4 weeks. Chic Home Deco includes free freight delivery to the 48 contiguous states and DC, curbside and by appointment.
