Know before you buy
No, the fountain is self-contained and does not require external plumbing. It operates on a recirculating pump system that simply needs to be plugged into a standard 110V outdoor outlet.
The fountain weighs 352 lbs. Due to its significant weight and cast stone construction, we recommend having at least two or three people available to assist with positioning it during assembly.
Yes, because it is crafted from natural cast stone, the fountain will develop a beautiful, unique patina as it is exposed to the elements. This aging process is a natural characteristic of the material and enhances the fountain's aesthetic over the years.
To keep the water flowing smoothly, you should periodically clean the pump intake of any debris or algae buildup. It is also important to ensure the water level in the basin remains high enough to keep the pump fully submerged to prevent motor damage.
If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, we recommend draining the fountain and covering it, or moving it to a protected area. Water trapped inside the basin or pump can expand when frozen, potentially causing cracks in the cast stone.
With 45 options available, consider the existing colors of your hardscaping, home exterior, or surrounding foliage. Lighter finishes often pop against dark greenery, while earthier, darker tones tend to blend more seamlessly into natural garden settings.
