Know before you buy
At approximately 50 pounds, the rock is manageable for most adults to position without heavy equipment. However, if you are purchasing the complete kit, you will need to dig a hole to accommodate the 49-inch basin, which may require some manual labor or light landscaping tools.
Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) provides the authentic texture and aesthetic of natural stone while being significantly lighter. This makes the fountain easier to transport and install while maintaining the durability needed to withstand outdoor elements.
Yes, the complete kit includes the rock, a 70-gallon basin, a 1300 GPH mag-drive pump, and all necessary plumbing. You will only need to provide the water, a power source, and any decorative stones or mulch you wish to use to hide the basin.
The mag-drive pump is designed for continuous outdoor use, but it should be checked periodically for debris. We recommend cleaning the intake screen occasionally to ensure consistent water flow and to prevent the pump from clogging.
We recommend draining the basin and bringing the pump indoors during freezing temperatures to prevent damage. If you live in a climate with harsh winters, covering the basin or storing the rock in a shed can help extend the life of the GFRC material.
The triple cascade design creates a noticeable, soothing sound of splashing water. Because the pump is rated at 1300 GPH, it provides enough volume to mask moderate ambient noise, making it ideal for creating a tranquil atmosphere in a garden or patio.
