Know before you buy
The kit is a complete package containing the natural basalt columns, an Achelous fountain basin, an energy-efficient pump, plumbing, tubing, a flow control valve, and 200 lbs of black polished pebbles.
The Achelous basin has an outer diameter of 52 inches, so you will need a level area at least 5 feet wide to accommodate the basin and ensure proper stability.
While assembly is required, the kit is designed for straightforward installation. You will need to level the basin, position the columns, connect the plumbing to the pump, and arrange the included decorative pebbles.
No, this is a recirculating system that holds 95 gallons of water in the basin. You will only need to top off the water level occasionally to account for natural evaporation.
Yes, the basalt stone is weather-resistant. However, in freezing climates, you should drain the basin and pump to prevent damage from ice expansion.
The columns feature a natural, raw basalt texture on most sides, while one side and the top are polished to a smooth finish. This contrast highlights the stone's organic hexagonal structure while adding a modern, refined aesthetic.
