Massarelli's Gabriel Lion Head Fountain

Given its significant weight of 921 lbs, professional installation is highly recommended. While the fountain comes with a pump kit and modular components, the scale and weight of the stone pieces require specialized equipment and careful handling to ensure it is set up safely and level.

The stone construction is durable, but you should clean it periodically with a soft brush and mild soap to prevent algae or mineral buildup. In freezing climates, it is essential to drain the water completely and cover the fountain or store it indoors during winter to prevent the stone from cracking due to ice expansion.

The included professional-grade pump is electric and requires a standard outdoor GFCI-protected outlet. You will need to plan for a power source within reach of the fountain's cord length, ensuring the connection is weatherproofed.

Yes, the included pump typically features an adjustable flow control valve. This allows you to customize the intensity of the water cascading down the three tiers to achieve your preferred sound level and visual effect.

No, you should not place this fountain directly on grass or soil. Due to its substantial weight, it requires a solid, level foundation such as a concrete pad, stone patio, or reinforced deck to prevent the structure from sinking or tilting over time.

While the tiers are designed to channel water gracefully, some minor splashing or misting is normal, especially on windy days. It is best to place the fountain in an area where the surrounding surface can handle occasional moisture or where the water feature is protected from high winds.
