Real Stone Fountains Triple Circle Fountain

No, this is a recirculating system. You simply fill the basin with water, and the pump continuously cycles it through the fountain, so no external plumbing connection is needed.

Yes, the included flow control valve allows you to increase or decrease the water pressure. This lets you dial in the exact volume of the cascade to suit your preference or the ambient noise level of your space.

Yes, the natural granite construction is quite substantial. When combined with the weight of the water and the 160 lbs of decorative pebbles included in the kit, the fountain is very stable and unlikely to shift in standard outdoor conditions.

You will need to keep the basin topped off with water to prevent the pump from running dry, and you should clean the pump intake periodically to remove debris. Because it is natural stone, you may also want to use a fountain cleaner occasionally to prevent algae buildup.

Yes, if you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, you must drain the basin and remove the pump for the winter. Freezing water can expand and crack both the pump housing and the stone itself.

The included 36-inch Achelous basin is designed to be installed in-ground. You will need to dig a hole to accommodate the basin so that the top sits flush with your patio or garden surface for a clean, professional look.
