Campania International Richmond Hill Fountain

Assembly is straightforward but requires at least two people due to the weight of the cast stone components. The fountain arrives in sections that stack together, and you will need to connect the included pump and tubing during the setup process.

The finish is designed to age naturally over time, developing a unique patina that enhances the fountain's character. You do not need to apply special coatings, though you should clean the surface periodically with a soft brush and water to remove debris.

No, you should drain the fountain and disconnect the pump before the first freeze. Water expanding inside the cast stone or the pump housing during freezing temperatures can cause significant structural damage.

Because this fountain weighs 869 pounds, it must be placed on a level, solid, and stable surface like a concrete pad or a reinforced patio. Placing it on soft ground or uneven pavers can cause the fountain to shift or tilt over time.

The frequency depends on your local climate, wind exposure, and humidity levels, as evaporation is the primary cause of water loss. You should check the water level weekly to ensure the pump remains fully submerged, which is critical for preventing pump burnout.

The recirculating pump is designed to be quiet, allowing the sound of the cascading water to be the primary auditory feature. If you notice a humming noise, ensure the pump is not touching the sides of the fountain basin, which can cause vibration.
