Know before you buy
This is a complete, all-in-one kit. It includes the drilled basalt stone columns, an Achelous fountain basin, a high-performance circulation pump, all necessary plumbing components, and 200 pounds of black polished pebbles for the finish.
The included pump features an adjustable flow control, allowing you to increase or decrease the water volume to achieve your preferred sound level and visual effect.
Maintenance primarily involves keeping the basin free of debris and periodically cleaning the pump intake to ensure consistent water flow. Because the columns are natural basalt, they are durable and weather-resistant, though you should drain the system if you live in an area that experiences hard freezes.
The kit is designed for straightforward assembly and does not require professional installation. You will need to level the ground for the basin, place the pump and plumbing, and arrange the stones, but it is a manageable project for most homeowners.
No, because these are natural stones sourced directly from quarries, each column will have unique variations in shape, texture, and color. This natural character is what gives each fountain its distinct, organic look.
Yes, the kit is available in several configurations with column heights ranging from 18 inches to 48 inches. You should select the height that best fits the scale of your garden or patio space.
