Deruta Lemon Niche Concrete Wall Fountain

Yes, the cast stone concrete is designed to develop a natural patina over time. This weathering process adds a rustic, aged character to the lemon and branch motifs, which is a standard and intended feature of this material.

While the fountain is weather-resistant, we recommend draining the water and covering it during harsh winter months. If you live in an area with frequent freeze-thaw cycles, storing the pump indoors and protecting the basin from ice buildup will help preserve the concrete's integrity.

Maintenance is minimal; simply keep the basin free of debris like leaves or twigs to prevent the pump from clogging. You should also top off the water level periodically to compensate for natural evaporation and ensure the pump remains fully submerged.
