Giannini Garden Ornaments Murano Concrete Fountain

No, this is a self-contained fountain. It recirculates the water within its own system, so you do not need to connect it to an external plumbing source.

Yes, the finish is intentionally designed to develop a natural patina as it weathers. This process enhances the aged European aesthetic, meaning your fountain will look slightly different and more unique the longer it is exposed to the elements.

The included 375 GPH pump is sized specifically for this two-tier design. It provides a steady, graceful cascade that creates a distinct, relaxing ambient sound suitable for a garden or patio setting.

Maintenance is relatively straightforward. You should keep the water clean to prevent algae buildup, periodically check the pump intake for debris, and ensure the water level remains high enough to keep the pump fully submerged.

While the cast stone is weather-resistant, freezing temperatures can cause water to expand and crack the concrete. In colder climates, it is best to drain the fountain completely and cover it, or store it indoors during the winter months.
