Al's Garden Art Stone Courtyard Cascade Fountain

No, this is a self-contained recirculating system. It uses an internal pump to cycle the same water continuously, so you only need to top off the water level occasionally due to evaporation.

Because of its substantial weight, this fountain must be placed on a solid, level surface such as a concrete pad, stone patio, or reinforced deck. We strongly recommend verifying that your chosen location can support the load before installation.

Yes, the recirculating pump is included with your purchase. It connects to a standard outdoor electrical outlet, though you should ensure your outlet is GFCI-protected for safety.

Cast stone is durable and weather-resistant, but it is porous. In freezing climates, you must drain the fountain completely and cover it or move it indoors during the winter to prevent water from freezing inside the stone and causing cracks.

While you can place it in a garden setting, it requires a stable, level foundation to function correctly and prevent shifting. Placing it directly on soil or grass is not recommended, as the weight will cause it to sink and become unlevel over time.

The fountain arrives as a complete system, but due to its immense weight, professional installation or a team of experienced movers is highly recommended. You will need equipment to safely position the pieces.
