Know before you buy
Yes, Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is specifically engineered to be weather-resistant and highly durable while being significantly lighter than natural basalt. It is designed to withstand outdoor elements year-round without compromising its structural integrity.
Yes, this is a complete kit. It includes the five columns, the basin, the necessary pumps, all required plumbing components, and the polished pebbles for a finished look.
While assembly is required, the lightweight nature of the GFRC material makes it much easier to handle and position than solid stone. You will need to level the basin, connect the plumbing to the pumps, and arrange the columns, but it is designed for a straightforward installation.
Maintenance involves keeping the basin free of debris, occasionally cleaning the pump intake, and ensuring the water level remains sufficient to cover the pumps. Using a water treatment product can also help prevent algae buildup and keep the water clear.
In freezing climates, it is recommended to drain the fountain, disconnect the pumps, and store them indoors during the winter months. Allowing water to freeze inside the plumbing or pump can cause significant damage.
The tallest column stands at 48 inches, and the base footprint will be determined by the included basin. Ensure you have a level area at least a few feet wide to accommodate the basin and provide enough clearance for the visual impact of the five-column arrangement.
