Know before you buy
The kit is all-inclusive and comes with the 20-inch granite sphere, a 39.5-inch basin, an 800 GPH pump, plumbing, and your choice of decorative pebbles. You will only need to provide a level surface and a standard outdoor electrical outlet.
The basin measures 39.5 inches in diameter, so you should ensure you have at least a 4-foot square area to accommodate the basin and allow for easy access around the fountain for maintenance.
Assembly requires some physical effort due to the weight of the granite, but the process is straightforward. You will need to level the basin, install the pump and plumbing, place the sphere, and arrange the decorative pebbles.
To keep the water clear and the pump running efficiently, you should periodically remove debris from the basin and use a water treatment product designed for fountains to prevent algae growth. It is also recommended to clean the pump intake screen every few months to ensure consistent water flow.
In areas that experience freezing temperatures, you should drain the basin and disconnect the pump to prevent damage. It is best to store the pump indoors and cover the basin to keep it free of ice and debris.
The ribbed texture of the sphere creates a gentle, soothing trickle rather than a loud splash. It is designed to provide a serene, ambient background noise perfect for smaller patios or quiet garden corners.
