D'Este Acorn Finial Concrete Estate Fountain

This fountain is a significant piece weighing over 3,000 pounds, so assembly is considered difficult. You will need professional assistance or heavy-duty equipment to position the components, and we strongly recommend hiring a contractor experienced with stone masonry or heavy landscaping features.

The cast stone is designed to be durable and requires very little maintenance. While it will naturally develop a beautiful patina over time, you can occasionally clean it with a soft brush and mild soap if algae or debris accumulates.

The fountain includes a recirculating pump that requires a standard 110V GFCI-protected outdoor outlet. It comes with a 20-foot cord, but ensure your power source is located within reach to avoid using extension cords, which are generally not recommended for permanent outdoor water features.

If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, you must winterize the fountain. This involves draining the water completely, removing the pump, and covering the fountain to prevent water from freezing inside the stone, which can cause cracks.

No, this is a self-contained system. It uses a recirculating pump that moves the same water through the fountain, so you do not need any plumbing connections. You will only need to manually refill the basin occasionally to account for water lost to evaporation or splashing.

Due to its massive weight of 3,270 pounds, this fountain must be placed on a reinforced, level surface capable of supporting significant structural loads. A standard residential deck is likely not sufficient, so a concrete pad or a professionally engineered foundation is required.
