Know before you buy
GFRC stands for Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete. It is used because it provides the authentic, heavy look of natural stone while being significantly lighter and more durable, making it easier to position in your garden.
No, this is a self-contained system. The 70-gallon basin holds the water, which is then recirculated by the pump, so you only need to top off the water level occasionally to account for evaporation.
You will need a level area of at least 49 inches by 49 inches to accommodate the basin. Ensure the site is near an outdoor electrical outlet to power the pump.
The 660 GPH mag-drive pump provides excellent circulation, which helps prevent stagnant water. However, because it is an outdoor feature, you will still need to perform routine maintenance and clean the pump intake periodically to keep the water clear.
In areas that experience freezing temperatures, you should drain the basin and store the pump indoors. Leaving water in the basin during a freeze can cause the GFRC material to crack.
The kit is designed for straightforward assembly and includes a detailed guide. While it is a DIY-friendly project, you will need to dig a hole for the basin and connect the plumbing, so expect to spend a few hours on the installation.
