Giannini Garden Marino Cast Stone Fountain

No, this is a self-contained system. It does not require any external plumbing hookups, meaning you can set it up yourself by simply placing it on a level surface and plugging it into a standard outdoor electrical outlet.

The fountain weighs 800 lbs, so it is a substantial piece. You must place it on a level, solid surface—such as a concrete patio, stone pavers, or a reinforced deck—capable of supporting the weight of the fountain plus the 30 gallons of water it holds.

The fountain features a hand-finished patina specifically designed to resist sun and water damage. While natural weathering can occur over time, the cast stone construction is built to maintain its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal in outdoor environments.

No, the pump is fully concealed within the fountain's design. This ensures that the clean, architectural lines of the piece remain uninterrupted from every viewing angle.

Routine maintenance involves keeping the water clean and free of debris to ensure the pump operates smoothly. You should also check the water level periodically to prevent the pump from running dry, especially during hot, dry weather when evaporation is higher.

It is generally recommended to drain the fountain and cover it, or move it indoors, if you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures. Ice expansion can cause cracks in cast stone, so protecting it during the winter will significantly extend the life of the piece.
