Watershed Cascade Fountain Kit

It is made from glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) that has been molded from actual stone boulders. This gives it the authentic texture and look of natural rock while keeping the weight manageable for easier placement.

You will need a level, stable surface to support the 49-inch basin and the weight of the water. Because the basin is 12 inches deep, many owners choose to partially bury it for a more natural look, though it can also sit directly on a patio or deck if the surface is structurally sound.

The 1495 GPH pump provides a robust flow that creates a distinct, audible cascading sound. It is designed to be loud enough to mask ambient neighborhood noise, such as traffic, while remaining soothing rather than overwhelming.

While the pump is designed for continuous operation, you can turn it off whenever you like. However, keeping it running helps prevent algae buildup and keeps the water oxygenated, which reduces the frequency of maintenance.

With a 70-gallon capacity, you should use a standard fountain water treatment or algaecide to keep the water clear. Periodically checking the pump intake for debris is also recommended to ensure the flow remains consistent.

If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, you must drain the basin and remove the pump before the first freeze. Leaving water in the basin during winter can cause the concrete to crack as the ice expands.
