Know before you buy
The fountain has a total width of 103 inches and stands 114.25 inches tall. You should ensure you have a level, reinforced area at least 9 feet in diameter to support its footprint and weight.
Given the substantial weight of 2,437 pounds, professional installation is highly recommended. You will need heavy-duty equipment to move the components and a solid, level foundation to prevent the structure from shifting or tilting over time.
While the cast stone is weather-resistant, you must drain the fountain completely and cover it during freezing temperatures to prevent water from expanding and cracking the concrete. If you live in an area with harsh winters, it is best to store the pump indoors.
The fountain uses a recirculating pump that draws water from the pool, pushes it up through the tiers, and allows it to flow back down into the basin. Because it is self-contained, you do not need to connect it to a water line; you simply fill the basin and plug the pump into a standard outdoor electrical outlet.
Yes, as a natural cast stone product, the fountain will develop a unique patina as it is exposed to the elements. This weathering process is expected and often enhances the old-world aesthetic of the lion head design.
Because the fountain weighs over 2,400 pounds, it must be placed on a solid, level surface such as a reinforced concrete pad or a stone patio base. Placing it on soft ground or grass will likely cause the fountain to settle unevenly and potentially crack.
