Know before you buy
At 40 pounds, the fountain is stable for most garden settings. However, if you live in an area with extreme wind, you may want to place it in a sheltered spot or ensure the basin is properly leveled and secured.
No, this is a self-contained system. You simply fill the 12-gallon basin with water, and the pump recirculates it, so no external plumbing or constant water supply is needed.
Yes, the Sonoma fountain is designed for both ground-level and subsurface installation. If you choose to bury the basin, ensure the surrounding area is properly excavated and leveled to support the weight of the water-filled reservoir.
GFRC is highly durable and requires very little maintenance. Over time, the material is designed to encourage natural moss growth, which adds to the rustic aesthetic, but you can gently spray it with water if you prefer to keep the surface clean.
The fountain produces a moderate, bubbling sound. It is designed to provide a soothing background noise that is effective at masking light ambient sounds like distant traffic, without being overwhelming.
The included 370 GPH pump is electric and comes with a 20-foot power cord. You will need access to a standard outdoor GFCI-protected electrical outlet to power the unit.
