Portofino Fountain

GFRC stands for Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete. It is a high-density, durable material that provides the classic look of traditional stone while being lighter and more resistant to cracking than standard concrete.

No, the Portofino Fountain is self-circulating. It uses an internal pump to recycle the water, so you do not need to connect it to a dedicated plumbing line.

The fountain weighs 317 pounds. Because of this weight, it should be placed on a level, firm surface such as a concrete patio, a stone paver base, or a reinforced deck to prevent settling or tipping.

The fountain arrives with all the necessary components for operation, including the pump, required hardware, and a set of step-by-step assembly instructions.

While the fountain is substantial, it is designed for straightforward assembly. We recommend having at least two people available to help position the pieces safely during the setup process.

To prevent damage from freezing water, we recommend draining the fountain completely and covering it or moving it to a sheltered area during the winter. If you choose to leave it outdoors, ensure the basin is kept dry to avoid cracks caused by ice expansion.
