Massarelli's Lion Head Fountain

Yes, weighing in at 923 pounds, this fountain is exceptionally stable and designed for permanent outdoor placement. You do not need to worry about it tipping over during typical weather conditions.

No, this is a self-contained recirculating system. You simply fill the pool with water, and the internal pump cycles it through the fountain, so you do not need to connect it to a dedicated water line.

Because of its substantial weight, you must place this fountain on a level, solid surface like a concrete pad, stone patio, or reinforced deck. Installing it on soft ground or uneven soil can cause the structure to shift or settle over time.

While the material is durable, cast stone can be susceptible to freeze-thaw damage if water is left inside during freezing temperatures. We recommend draining the fountain and covering it, or bringing smaller components indoors, if you live in a climate with harsh winters.

The fountain arrives in sections that must be stacked and secured. While it is a straightforward process, the weight of the individual pieces means you will need at least two or three people to help with assembly and positioning.

To keep the water clear and the pump running smoothly, you should clean the fountain and remove debris from the pool every few weeks. Depending on your local climate and water quality, you may also want to use an algaecide safe for water features to prevent buildup.
