Dolce Nido Fountain

The Dolce Nido is a self-contained system, meaning it does not require any external plumbing. It comes with all necessary hardware and the pump, so assembly is straightforward, though you will need a helper to position the pieces due to the weight of the cast stone.

No, it uses a self-circulating system. You simply fill the basin with water, plug in the electric pump, and the water will recycle through the tiers continuously.

Yes, high-density cast stone is designed for outdoor longevity. However, we recommend draining the fountain and covering it, or bringing it indoors, during freezing winter temperatures to prevent the stone from cracking due to ice expansion.

To keep the pump running smoothly and the water clear, you should clean the basin periodically to remove debris like leaves or bird droppings. It is also helpful to use a water clarifier or algaecide specifically formulated for bird baths to keep the water healthy for visiting wildlife.

Because this fountain weighs 233 pounds, you must ensure your deck or patio surface is structurally sound and level. It is a pedestal-style unit, so it is stable on flat, hard surfaces, but you should verify your deck's weight capacity before installation.

The pump is designed to be quiet, allowing the primary sound to be the gentle trickling of the water. If you notice a loud humming or buzzing, it usually indicates the pump is not fully submerged or is vibrating against the side of the basin.
