Smooth Ribbed Limestone Sphere Fountain Complete Kit

Because this is a subsurface installation, you will need to excavate an area to accommodate the Achelous basin. The ground must be level and stable to support the weight of the stone, which can reach up to 685 pounds depending on the size you choose.

No, this is a self-contained, recirculating system. You simply fill the basin with water, and the pump cycles it continuously, requiring only occasional top-offs to account for natural evaporation.

The fountain creates a moderate, soothing sound profile. It is designed to provide a calming ambient backdrop that is effective at masking low-level background noise, such as distant traffic or neighborhood activity.

Natural limestone is highly durable, but like any outdoor stone, it may develop a patina over time. To keep it looking pristine, you can gently clean the surface with a soft brush and water, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the stone or affect the water quality.

The kit is designed for a turnkey installation and includes the hand-polished limestone sphere, the subsurface basin, the Mag-Drive pump, all necessary plumbing components, and decorative pebbles to cover the basin.

In areas that experience freezing temperatures, you should drain the basin and disconnect the pump for the winter. Storing the pump indoors and ensuring the basin is free of standing water prevents damage caused by ice expansion.
