Know before you buy
No, the fountain is a self-contained unit that does not require any external plumbing. You will simply need to place the basin, install the pump, and fill it with water to get started.
The fountain requires a footprint of at least 52.5 inches square to accommodate the subsurface basin. You should also ensure the ground is level and that you have access to a standard electrical outlet within 20 feet for the pump and LED light power cords.
In regions that experience freezing temperatures, you should drain the fountain and store the pump indoors during the winter months. Allowing water to freeze inside the basin or pump can cause structural damage to the acrylic and steel components.
Maintenance is minimal, primarily involving keeping the basin free of debris and occasionally topping off the water level to compensate for evaporation. Using a water treatment specifically designed for decorative fountains will help prevent algae growth and keep the water clear.
The included remote control allows you to customize the LED lighting experience. You can choose to cycle through colors or select a specific color to match your outdoor decor or mood.
The total weight is approximately 550 pounds, so it is recommended to place the basin on a stable, level surface such as a compacted gravel base or a concrete pad. This ensures the fountain remains level and prevents the basin from shifting over time.
