Campania International Recife Fountain

No, the Recife is a self-contained unit. It recirculates the water within the basin, so you do not need to connect it to a plumbing line.

Cast stone is incredibly durable and weather-resistant, requiring very little upkeep. You will primarily need to keep the pump intake clear of debris and occasionally top off the water level to account for natural evaporation.

The pump is designed to be quiet, focusing the sound on the water itself rather than mechanical noise. The fountain produces a moderate, bubbling sound that is intended to mask ambient noise without becoming intrusive.

While cast stone is weather-resistant, freezing water can cause cracks. We recommend draining the fountain completely and covering it during freezing temperatures to ensure it lasts for years.

Because the fountain weighs 377 lbs, it requires a level, solid surface like a concrete patio, stone pavers, or a reinforced deck. Avoid placing it directly on soft soil or grass, as the weight can cause it to settle unevenly over time.

The patina is a natural aging process that gives cast stone its character. If you prefer to keep the original finish, you can gently clean the surface with a soft brush and mild soap, but most owners embrace the weathered look as it matures.
