Know before you buy
These columns are crafted from glass fiber-reinforced concrete (GFRC), which is significantly lighter than natural basalt. This makes them much easier to maneuver and position during installation without requiring heavy machinery.
Yes, the kit includes a 48-inch basin that acts as the reservoir for the water. The pump recirculates the water from this basin, so you do not need to connect it to a continuous water supply.
You will need to keep the basin free of debris and periodically top off the water level to account for natural evaporation. Additionally, it is recommended to clean the pump intake occasionally to ensure consistent water flow.
Because the fountain is not weather-resistant in freezing conditions, you must drain the basin and store the pump indoors during the winter. Leaving water in the system during a freeze can cause the basin or plumbing to crack.
Yes, the kit includes the Mag-Drive pump, a 3-split flow control valve, and all necessary tubing. You will have everything needed to connect the three columns to the pump and basin right out of the box.
