Al's Garden Art Jardine Fountain

Given the fountain's significant weight of 998 pounds, it must be placed on a level, solid surface such as a concrete patio, stone pavers, or a reinforced deck. We recommend ensuring the ground is compacted and stable to prevent any settling or tilting over time.

Assembly is required and involves stacking the concrete components and connecting the included pump. Because of the weight of the individual pieces, we strongly recommend having at least two people assist with the setup to ensure safety and proper alignment.

The finish is designed for outdoor durability, but like all concrete water features, it may weather naturally over time. To preserve the appearance, you can gently clean the surface with water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals or pressure washers that could strip the stain.

Yes, the fountain comes with a pump designed for immediate use. It is an electric model, so you will need to ensure there is a weather-rated outdoor power outlet within reach of the fountain's power cord.

In regions that experience freezing temperatures, it is best to drain the fountain completely and cover it during the winter months. Freezing water trapped inside the concrete or pump can cause cracks and structural damage.

The basin holds a substantial amount of water, but the exact frequency of refilling depends on your local climate, wind exposure, and humidity. You should check the water level regularly to ensure the pump remains fully submerged, as running it dry can cause permanent damage.
