Giannini Garden Urbino Maximus Fountain

No. The Urbino Maximus is a self-contained system, meaning it recirculates water within the unit itself. You only need a standard outdoor electrical outlet to power the included pump.

Given its 8-foot height and cast stone construction, this fountain is extremely heavy. It requires a level, reinforced concrete pad or a solid, compacted stone base to prevent settling or tipping over time.

Yes, the fiber-reinforced material is designed for longevity and weather resistance. However, in freezing climates, we recommend draining the fountain and covering it during the winter months to prevent water expansion from causing cracks.

Maintenance depends on your local environment, but you should generally check the water level weekly to ensure the pump remains submerged. We recommend cleaning the pump intake and refreshing the water every few months to prevent algae buildup and mineral deposits.

Yes, the included pump features an adjustable flow control valve. This allows you to dial in the exact sound and visual effect you prefer, from a gentle trickle to a more robust cascade.

Because each piece is hand-finished to order, there may be subtle variations in the color and texture of the cast stone. These variations are intentional and contribute to the unique, bespoke character of the piece.
