Massarelli's Torino Fountain

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

Because the fountain weighs 670 pounds, it must be placed on a firm, level surface like a concrete patio, stone pavers, or a reinforced deck. Placing it on soft ground can cause the fountain to shift or tilt over time.

The fountain is finished with stains specifically designed to develop a natural patina over time. This weathering process is intentional and adds to the Mediterranean aesthetic, though the rate of change will depend on your local climate and sun exposure.

Yes, the pump is designed for low maintenance. You can access it within the fountain basin to clear debris, which is recommended periodically to ensure consistent water flow and extend the life of the motor.

The fountain includes a 15-foot power cord that plugs into a standard outdoor electrical outlet. We recommend using a GFCI-protected outlet for safety when operating any outdoor water feature.

If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, you must drain the fountain and store the pump indoors. Water expanding as it freezes can crack the cast stone concrete, so keeping the basin dry during winter is essential for long-term durability.
