FAQs
Does the fountain need to be covered during winter?
The material is frost-proof and designed for year-round use; however, it is recommended to drain the water if temperatures drop significantly to prevent ice expansion damage.
How do I move the fountain once assembled?
Due to its 850 kg weight, this fountain is intended to be a permanent fixture. It should only be moved by professionals with appropriate lifting equipment.
Can I use this fountain on a balcony?
No, the weight of 850 kg far exceeds the standard load-bearing capacity of most residential balconies.
What kind of base do I need to prepare?
A level, solid concrete or reinforced stone pad is required to prevent the fountain from shifting or sinking into the ground over time.
Does the pump need to be plugged in constantly?
Yes, for the water feature to run, the pump must be connected to an active, waterproof outdoor electrical socket.
Troubleshooting
Water flow is weak or erratic
Inspect the pump intake for debris or clogs and ensure the water level in the bottom basin is sufficient to keep the pump fully submerged.
Pump is making a humming noise
Check that the pump is not vibrating against the side of the basin and ensure it is properly secured to the base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Placement: Ensure the location is level and capable of supporting 850 kg. Consult a landscape professional if installing on decking.
- Assembly: The fountain arrives in multiple pieces. Utilize heavy-lifting equipment or a team of people to position the base tier first, then stack the subsequent tiers securely.
- Pump Installation: Connect the included pump per the provided instruction manual, ensuring the cable is safely routed and connected to a waterproof outdoor power source.
- Maintenance: Periodically clear the pump intake of leaves or debris. As the fountain weathers, avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the stone-like finish; instead, use a soft brush and water to maintain the structure's appearance.
