Know before you buy
No, this is a self-contained system that does not require any plumbing. You simply place the basin, connect the included pump, and fill it with water to get started.
Because each piece is crafted from natural volcanic basalt, every fountain features unique textures, shapes, and color variations. While the overall design remains consistent, your specific piece will be one-of-a-kind.
The fountain itself measures 23 inches in width, but you will need to accommodate the 36-inch Achelous basin that sits beneath it. Ensure you have a level surface that can support the total weight of the stone and the 60 gallons of water.
Yes, the cascading 360° water flow is designed to attract birds while providing a shallow area for them to bathe. The natural stone surface also provides good traction for birds landing on the fountain.
Maintenance is minimal, but you should periodically clear debris from the basin and check the pump intake to ensure it remains free of leaves or sediment. Using a water treatment specifically designed for bird baths can also help prevent algae growth.
If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, you should drain the fountain and store the pump indoors during the winter. Allowing water to freeze inside the stone or pump can cause damage to the equipment.
