Due to the significant weight of the cast stone, you must place the fountain on a level, solid surface such as a reinforced concrete pad or a paver base to prevent shifting or sinking over time.

The fountain features a stained finish that will naturally weather and evolve when exposed to the elements. This process creates an authentic, aged appearance that adds to the fountain's old-world European aesthetic.

While the cast stone is durable and weather-resistant, you should drain the water and cover the fountain during freezing temperatures to prevent water expansion from causing cracks in the concrete.

Maintenance is minimal. You will need to periodically top off the water level to account for evaporation and use an algaecide or water treatment specifically formulated for decorative fountains to keep the water clear.
