Know before you buy
At approximately 50 pounds, the GFRC construction is substantial enough to remain stable in most garden settings. However, if you live in an area with extreme wind gusts, you may want to ensure the basin is properly leveled and secured.
The rock-only option is intended for those who already have an existing pond or basin setup. The complete kit includes the 12-gallon basin, the 370 GPH pump, and all the necessary plumbing, providing everything you need for a self-contained installation.
GFRC, or Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete, is specifically engineered for outdoor durability. It offers the aesthetic of natural stone while being more resistant to cracking and significantly easier to move or reposition in your landscape.
The fountain is designed for straightforward assembly. If you purchase the complete kit, the plumbing and pump are included, making it a manageable project for most DIY enthusiasts.
The frequency of refills depends on your local climate, sun exposure, and wind conditions, as these factors increase evaporation. With a 12-gallon capacity, you should expect to top off the water periodically to ensure the pump remains fully submerged.
