Know before you buy
No, the Leone Grande is a self-contained unit. It does not require any external plumbing connections; you simply fill the basin with water and plug the pump into a standard outdoor electrical outlet.
Because this fountain weighs 700 pounds, it must be placed on a level, solid surface capable of supporting significant weight, such as a concrete patio or a reinforced stone base. Ensure the wall behind it is sturdy enough to act as a stable backing for the unit.
Yes, the cast stone concrete is designed to develop a natural patina over time. This weathering process adds character and depth to the finish, which is a standard and expected evolution for high-quality outdoor concrete pieces.
Maintenance is minimal. You will need to keep the water level topped off to protect the pump, periodically clean debris from the basin, and ensure the pump intake remains clear. During freezing winter months, we recommend draining the fountain and storing the pump indoors.
The fountain produces a moderate, relaxing ambient sound. While it is effective at creating a peaceful atmosphere and softening light background noise, it is designed for tranquility rather than heavy-duty sound masking.
