Know before you buy
No, the Darnell the Duck Spitter does not include a pump. You will need to purchase a separate pond pump to connect to the included brass tube to create the water-spitting effect.
The statue features a standard brass male connection tube. You simply attach your pump's flexible tubing to this connector to begin the water flow.
The statue is crafted from high-quality designer resin, which is weather-resistant. However, we recommend bringing it indoors or covering it during freezing winter temperatures to prevent potential cracking or paint damage.
While the statue is hand-painted for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to intense, direct UV rays can cause fading over time. Placing it in a partially shaded area will help preserve the vibrant colors for longer.
At 2 lbs, the statue is lightweight. If you are placing it on the edge of a pond or a windy area, you may want to secure it with a small base or rocks to ensure it remains stable.
