Girl & Boy Under Umbrella Large Concrete Fountain

No, this is a self-contained fountain. It uses a recirculating pump system, so you only need to fill the basin with water and plug it into a standard outdoor electrical outlet.

The fountain weighs 284 pounds. Due to its significant weight and the delicate nature of cast stone, we recommend having at least two or three people available to assist with placement upon delivery.

While the cast stone is weather-resistant, we recommend draining the water and covering the fountain during freezing temperatures. If you live in an area with harsh winters, it is best to bring the pump indoors to prevent potential damage from ice expansion.

You will need to keep the water level topped off to ensure the pump stays fully submerged and clean the basin periodically to prevent algae buildup. Over time, the concrete will naturally develop a patina, which is a desired aesthetic characteristic of Massarelli's cast stone products.

Yes, a high-efficiency 160 GPH pump is included with your purchase. It comes with a 10-foot power cord, which should provide enough reach for most patio or garden placements near an outlet.

Assembly is straightforward as the fountain is designed to be self-contained. You will primarily need to position the base, connect the pump to the tubing, and secure the statue top, though due to the weight of the components, it is a two-person job.
