Dual Bowl Fountain Design
The pedestal is specifically designed to support dual bowl installations, creating elegant tiered fountain displays. Water flows from the upper bowl to the lower bowl, creating a cascading effect that enhances the visual and auditory appeal of your water feature. The dual 1.5" inlets allow the water supply to be plumbed independently from lighting cords using Atlantic's Cord Seal Fitting, ensuring clean, professional installations.
Applications
Ideal for formal gardens, entryways, courtyards, poolscapes, commercial landscapes, and any location where a sophisticated tiered fountain creates impact. Perfect for creating focal points that combine the timeless beauty of brass with the soothing sound of flowing water.
Living Patina
The acid wash finish creates an initial patina that makes each pedestal unique. Over time, brass continues to develop character as it oxidizes, creating warm tones and varied coloration. This living finish ensures your fountain becomes more beautiful with age, developing a rich patina that reflects its environment and history.
