89 Atlas Fire & Water Fountain review: evaluate it as an installation, not just a product
The 89″ Atlas is a self-contained outdoor fire and water fountain from The Outdoor Plus. At 89 inches in overall diameter and 76 inches high, it belongs in a different planning category from a conventional fire bowl. The current model combines a gas fire feature, moving water, LED lighting and circulation equipment in one large-format unit.
Best for projects designed around the feature
The Atlas makes the most sense when the fountain is part of the landscape or hardscape plan from the beginning. Its value is the coordinated fire-and-water system and the scale of the finished feature—not simplicity.
Buyers should plan fuel, electrical service, water requirements, drainage/service access, delivery access and the separately installed key valve before ordering. If the project cannot support those requirements cleanly, a simpler fire bowl or fire-and-water bowl may be a better fit.
Large residential, hospitality or landscape projects where a self-contained 89-inch fire-and-water centerpiece is intentionally incorporated into the site plan.
Low Voltage Electronic Ignition is the Atlas configuration
The Outdoor Plus currently states that the 89″ Atlas is offered only with its Low Voltage Electronic Ignition System. The manufacturer also notes that the key valve cannot be mounted on the bowl itself and must be installed separately from the unit.
The current product page offers both Natural Gas and Liquid Propane configurations, so the fuel selection should match the planned site supply at order time.
- Natural Gas or Liquid Propane
- Low Voltage Electronic Ignition
- CSA-certified ignition configuration per the current manufacturer page
- External key-valve installation required

Older The Outdoor Plus specification sheets contain additional basin, power, water-volume and burner data. For final construction and utility planning, use the current Atlas specification sheet and self-contained-unit manual rather than a copied historical table.
What The Outdoor Plus currently lists with the Atlas
The manufacturer currently lists the fountain bowl, fire pan, burner, whistle-free gas hose, gas orifice, mounting bracket, water tank, LED lights, circulation pump, drain valve and lava rock as included components.
That integrated package is the main reason to consider the Atlas as a system rather than just a decorative shell. It still requires site-side services and qualified installation, but the major fire and water components are designed as one product family.
What should be confirmed before ordering?
Configuration
- Natural Gas or Liquid Propane
- Powder-coat finish
- Current lead time
- Delivery and placement access
- Installer availability
Site services
- Gas supply and regulator requirements
- Ignition/electrical requirements
- Power for water-system components
- Water supply and drainage/service access
- External key-valve location
The self-contained-unit manual requires the fountain to be installed where local building and safety requirements, ventilation, combustible clearances and appropriate electrical and gas connections can be satisfied. It also calls for GFCI-protected power for the water basin where required.
Seven powder-coat colors are currently offered
The current Atlas product page lists Java, Pewter, Silver Vein, Black, Copper Vein, Gray and White powder-coat finishes. The Outdoor Plus notes that individually handcrafted products can show slight color or texture variation and recommends reviewing physical color samples when exact color coordination matters.
Expect service planning for both fire and water components
A fire-and-water fountain has more systems to maintain than a fire-only bowl. The practical ownership plan should include access to the pump, water-system components, drain, ignition components and gas service points.
The Outdoor Plus warranty documents also make installation and maintenance important: improper installation, modification, storage or maintenance can affect coverage. That is another reason to preserve product documents and installation records with the project file.
Choose Atlas when scale and integration are the goal
The Atlas is not the right answer simply because it is larger or more expensive. It fits projects where a large self-contained fountain with flame, water and lighting is the intended focal point and the site can support the required utilities and service access.
If you want the fire-and-water effect in a smaller bowl format, compare the Fire & Water Bowls & Fountains collection. If the Atlas scale fits, review the live Atlas product page and current documentation before the project is finalized.
89 Atlas questions
Is the 89 Atlas self-contained?
Yes. The Outdoor Plus categorizes the 89″ Atlas as a self-contained fire and water fountain and lists the water tank, circulation pump, drain valve and LED lights among the included components.
What fuel types are available?
The current manufacturer page offers Natural Gas and Liquid Propane configurations.
Can I choose a match-lit version?
No. The Outdoor Plus currently states that the 89″ Atlas is offered only with its Low Voltage Electronic Ignition System.
Where does the key valve go?
The manufacturer says the key valve cannot be mounted on the bowl and must be installed separately from the unit.
What are the overall dimensions?
The current manufacturer documentation publishes an overall diameter of 89 inches and an overall height of 76 inches.
Is professional installation appropriate?
Yes. The Atlas combines gas, electrical and water-system requirements and must comply with applicable local building and safety requirements. Qualified professionals should handle work that requires licensed trades or code compliance.
