Rustic Metal Fountain with Duck and Watering Can

While the fountain is weather-resistant, iron can rust or crack if water freezes inside the pump or basin. We recommend draining the fountain and storing it in a dry, covered area during freezing temperatures to ensure its longevity.

No, this is a self-contained recirculating fountain. You simply fill the basin with water, plug it into a standard electrical outlet, and the included pump handles the rest.

The pump is designed to be quiet, focusing the sound on the gentle trickle of water rather than mechanical noise. You may hear a soft hum, but it is generally unobtrusive.

To prevent algae buildup and keep the pump running smoothly, it is best to rinse the basin and wipe down the iron surfaces every few weeks. If you notice the water flow slowing down, check the pump intake for debris.

Because it is made of iron, the fountain may develop a natural patina or slight surface rust when exposed to the elements, which often enhances the rustic aesthetic. If you prefer to maintain the original finish, you can apply a clear coat sealant designed for metal outdoor decor.

We do not recommend placing it directly on carpet or wood floors. Even with careful use, splashing can occur, so it is best to place the fountain on a waterproof mat or a hard surface like tile or stone.
