Basalt Block "Shizukesa" Fountain Kit

The Shizukesa fountain weighs 735 lbs. Given this significant weight, it should be placed on a level, compacted surface or a concrete pad to prevent settling over time.

This is a recirculating fountain, meaning it does not require a constant water line connection. You simply fill the 95-gallon basin with water, and the pump recirculates it through the system.

Maintenance involves keeping the basin free of debris, topping off the water level to account for evaporation, and cleaning the pump intake periodically. Because it is natural stone, you may also need to occasionally scrub away algae buildup depending on your local climate and sunlight exposure.

The fountain is not rated as weather-resistant for freezing conditions. In colder climates, you should drain the basin and store the pump indoors during winter to prevent damage from ice expansion.

Yes, the kit comes with the basalt stone, the Achelous basin, an 800 gph mag-drive pump, and all necessary plumbing. You will only need to provide the decorative pebbles of your choice and access to a standard outdoor electrical outlet.

The water cascades down the coarse sides of the basalt, creating a gentle, rhythmic sound rather than a loud splash. It is designed to provide a soothing, ambient backdrop suitable for quiet garden spaces.
