Know before you buy
GFRC stands for Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete. It is used because it provides the realistic texture and durability of natural stone while being significantly lighter, which makes the fountain easier to move and install.
No, this is a self-contained system. It recirculates the water within the 12-gallon basin, so you only need to top it off occasionally to account for natural evaporation.
The kit is designed for straightforward setup. It includes the fountain rock, basin, pump, and all necessary plumbing, allowing most users to complete the installation in a single afternoon.
In areas that experience freezing temperatures, it is recommended to drain the basin and bring the pump indoors. Leaving water to freeze inside the pump or basin can cause cracks or mechanical damage.
Maintenance is minimal. You will need to keep the basin free of debris, top off the water level, and use the included maintenance tablets to help keep the water clear and prevent algae growth.
Yes, the included 370 GPH mag-drive pump features an adjustable flow control. This allows you to customize the intensity of the water sound to suit your preference.
