Know before you buy
Because of the significant weight, you must install this fountain on a level, compacted surface or a concrete pad to prevent settling or tilting over time. Ensure the ground is stable enough to support the combined weight of the stone, the water, and the basin.
No, this is a self-contained system. You fill the reservoir manually, and the pump recirculates the water, meaning no plumbing connection is required.
Refill frequency depends on your local climate, humidity, and wind exposure, as these factors increase evaporation. You should check the water level weekly and top it off as needed to ensure the pump remains fully submerged.
Yes, the 1495 gph pump provides a robust flow that creates a distinct, soothing water sound. It is designed to provide enough volume to mask ambient noise while maintaining a tranquil atmosphere.
In regions that experience freezing temperatures, you must drain the reservoir and remove the pump before the first freeze. Leaving water in the basin or pump during a hard freeze can cause the stone to crack or the pump housing to break.
While the kit includes everything needed for setup, the weight of the basalt stone requires heavy-duty equipment like a forklift or a professional-grade dolly to position it safely. If you do not have experience moving heavy stone, hiring a professional landscaper is recommended.
