Giannini Garden Ornaments Grand Chateau Fountain

Because of the fountain's significant weight and height, it must be placed on a level, solid, and stable surface like a concrete pad or a reinforced stone patio. Placing it on soft ground or uneven soil can cause the fountain to shift or tilt over time.

No, this is a self-contained system. You simply fill the basin with water, and the included pump recirculates it through the tiers, meaning no plumbing or external water line is required.

The fountain is designed to weather naturally and will develop a unique patina over time. To keep it clean, you can gently rinse it with water and a soft brush to remove debris, but avoid using harsh chemicals or power washers that could damage the artisan finish.

The pump is designed to be quiet, allowing the sound of the cascading water to be the primary feature. You may hear a faint hum if you are standing very close, but the soothing sound of the water flow typically masks the mechanical noise.

In freezing climates, you must drain the fountain completely and cover it or move the components to a protected area. If water freezes inside the basin or pump, it can cause the cast stone to crack or the pump to fail.

The fountain arrives in multiple pieces that require stacking and securing. While the pump and hardware are included, the pieces are heavy and will require at least two people to safely assemble and position the fountain.
