Giannini Garden Velia Pond Fountain

Because this fountain is made of heavy-duty cast stone and weighs over 700 pounds, assembly requires at least two people to safely position the tiers. You will need to level the base carefully before stacking the tiers and connecting the pump and lighting components.

No, this is a self-contained system. It recirculates the 40 gallons of water within the unit, so you only need to fill it manually and occasionally top it off as water evaporates.

While the cast stone is weather-resistant, concrete can crack if water freezes inside the pump or the tiers. We recommend draining the fountain completely and covering it—or moving it to a sheltered area—during freezing temperatures to prevent damage.

The pump should be kept free of debris to maintain the 795 GPH flow rate, so check the intake periodically. The lighting kit is integrated for convenience, but like any outdoor electrical component, you should inspect the connections seasonally to ensure they remain watertight.

The fountain uses a standard outdoor-rated electrical outlet. Ensure your outlet is GFCI-protected to meet safety standards for outdoor water features.

Yes, cast stone naturally weathers and develops a patina when exposed to the elements. This is a characteristic of the material and typically enhances the classic, timeless aesthetic of the fountain as it ages.
