Giannini Garden Ornaments Malibu Pond Fountain

While the fountain is substantial, the inclusion of the Easy Pond Basin simplifies the setup significantly. Because it is a heavy, multi-piece concrete structure, you will need at least two or three people to assist with placement and assembly, and we recommend ensuring your installation site is perfectly level before beginning.

The finish is designed to naturally patina and age over time, which is part of its intended aesthetic. You do not need to seal or treat the concrete to maintain this look, though you should keep the water clean and the pump free of debris to ensure the fountain operates smoothly.

Due to the significant weight, this fountain must be placed on a solid, level surface capable of supporting over a ton. A reinforced concrete pad or a professionally prepared stone base is highly recommended to prevent the fountain from settling or tilting over time.

Like most cast stone concrete products, this fountain should be drained and covered, or ideally moved to a protected area, during freezing winter months. Water trapped inside the tiers or the pump can expand when it freezes, potentially causing cracks in the concrete or damage to the internal components.

The three-tier design creates a robust, cascading water flow that generates a consistent, soothing ambient sound. It is generally effective at masking moderate background noise like distant traffic or nearby conversations, though the exact volume will depend on the water level and your specific environment.

No, this is a self-contained system. It uses a recirculating pump that pulls water from the basin and cycles it back through the tiers, so you only need to fill the basin with water and plug the pump into a standard outdoor electrical outlet.
