Know before you buy
No, because basalt is a natural volcanic rock, every piece features unique shapes, textures, and color variations. You should expect your fountain to be a one-of-a-kind piece rather than an exact replica of the marketing imagery.
The basin measures 51.5 inches in diameter. You should ensure you have a level area at least 5 feet wide to accommodate the basin and provide enough clearance for the splash apron.
The kit is designed for straightforward installation and includes all necessary plumbing and a pump. While the stones are heavy—weighing approximately 5 pounds per inch of height—the setup process is manageable for most homeowners with a helper to assist with positioning the basalt.
The basin holds 95 gallons of water. While the splash apron helps manage water flow, you will need to top off the basin periodically, especially during hot, dry weather or windy days when evaporation and splashing are more frequent.
Yes, as long as your deck or patio is structurally sound enough to support the weight of the basin, water, and stone columns. Always ensure the surface is perfectly level to prevent water from spilling over one side of the basin.
To keep the fountain running efficiently, you should periodically clear debris from the pump intake and ensure the water remains clean. Using a water treatment product, which is included in the kit, will help prevent algae buildup and keep the water clear.
