Massarelli's Milos Jug Fountain

No, the Milos Jug Fountain is a self-contained unit. It does not require any external plumbing; you simply fill the basin with water, plug the pump into a standard outdoor electrical outlet, and it is ready to run.

This fountain produces a moderate ambient sound. It is designed to be audible enough to mask light street noise or neighborhood activity, making it a great choice for smaller patios or courtyards.

Yes, because it is crafted from cast stone concrete, the fountain is designed to develop a natural patina over time. This weathering process adds character and a unique, aged aesthetic to the piece.

At 188 pounds, this fountain is quite substantial and stable. It is designed to sit securely on level ground, patios, or entryways without the risk of tipping over in normal weather conditions.

The included high-efficiency pump is low-maintenance, but you should periodically check the basin to ensure it is free of debris and that the water level remains high enough to keep the pump fully submerged. Keeping the water clean will help extend the life of the pump and prevent mineral buildup.

It is recommended to drain the fountain and store the pump indoors during freezing temperatures. Water expanding as it turns to ice can cause cracks in the cast stone concrete, so winterizing is essential to protect your investment.
