Know before you buy
Because flow requirements vary based on your desired water effect, you will need to purchase a pump separately. We recommend a pump capable of handling the height of the column, typically rated for at least 300-500 gallons per hour to achieve a nice overflowing effect.
Yes, the column features a recessed socket measuring 2 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep, specifically designed to house an optional fountain light. This allows you to illuminate the water as it cascades down the stone.
The column is core-drilled to 1.375 inches, which comfortably fits up to 1-inch Schedule 40 PVC or 3/4-inch kink-free tubing. This space also allows room for the light cord to pass through alongside the water line.
Yes, because this is natural volcanic basalt, it will weather and develop a unique, multi-colored patina as it is exposed to the elements. This natural aging process is a characteristic feature of the stone and enhances its aesthetic appeal.
The column features a stable, sawn base, which allows it to sit level on a fountain basin or a reinforced support grate. Ensure your installation surface is solid and level to prevent the column from shifting once the water is running.
