Lion Fountain, Medium

Given its significant weight of 796 pounds, we strongly recommend professional installation or at least a team of capable helpers to position it safely. While it is a freestanding unit, the concrete construction is heavy and requires a level, stable surface to prevent shifting or damage over time.

The antique stain and wash finish is durable, but concrete is porous. We recommend applying a concrete sealer annually to protect the finish from UV rays and water absorption, which helps prevent cracking during freeze-thaw cycles if you live in a colder climate.

If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, you should drain the fountain, remove the pump, and cover the basin completely. Allowing water to freeze inside the concrete structure can cause it to crack or spall.

Yes, the pump is designed for straightforward access, though you will need to clear debris from the intake regularly to keep the water flowing smoothly. Because this is a large, outdoor feature, we suggest checking the pump housing every few weeks to ensure it remains free of leaves and sediment.

The water flow is designed to be gentle and soothing, but splash can occur depending on wind conditions and the water level. Ensure the fountain is placed on a level surface to keep the water distribution even, which minimizes unnecessary splashing.
