Campania International Williamsburg Chiswell Fountain

No, it does not. The Chiswell Fountain features a self-contained recirculating pump system, so you simply fill the basin with water and plug it into a standard outdoor electrical outlet.

The fountain weighs 272 pounds. While the setup process is straightforward and does not require plumbing, you will likely need two or more people to safely position and assemble the cast stone components.

Cast stone is highly durable and weather-resistant, but it is porous. We recommend draining the fountain and covering it, or moving it to a sheltered area during freezing temperatures to prevent water from expanding and cracking the stone.

Because each fountain features a hand-applied patina, there will be subtle variations in color and texture. This means your specific piece will have a unique character that develops further as it weathers over time.

The fountain is designed to produce a gentle, consistent trickling sound. It is intended to create a tranquil atmosphere rather than a loud, splashing water effect, making it ideal for quiet garden nooks or patios.

To keep the pump running efficiently, you should periodically clear any debris from the intake and ensure the water level remains sufficient to cover the pump completely. Since it is a recirculating system, keeping the water clean will also help prevent algae buildup.
