Massarelli's Leaf & Frog Spitter Fountain

No, this is a self-contained unit. It uses a recirculating pump system, so you simply fill the basin with water and plug it into a standard outdoor electrical outlet.

The fountain creates a noticeable, steady cascade of water. It is designed to be loud enough to effectively mask ambient street noise or nearby traffic, providing a tranquil auditory backdrop for your patio or garden.

Yes, because it is crafted from natural cast stone, the fountain will develop a unique, natural patina as it is exposed to the elements. This weathering process helps the piece integrate more seamlessly into your outdoor landscape over the years.

At 152 pounds, this fountain is quite substantial and stable. It is unlikely to tip over in standard wind conditions, though we recommend placing it on a level, solid surface like a patio or a paver base to ensure long-term stability.

The pump is a standard 160 GPH electric model. To keep it running smoothly, you should periodically clear any debris from the intake and ensure the water level in the basin remains high enough to keep the pump fully submerged.

While the cast stone is weather-resistant, we recommend draining the fountain and covering it—or moving it to a sheltered area—during freezing temperatures. Expanding ice can cause cracks in the stone or damage the pump.
