Perfect for Wildlife & Garden Enthusiasts

The Bird Bath Triple Fountain Kit creates an irresistible attraction for local wildlife. The gentle sound of trickling water draws birds from across your neighborhood, while the multiple fountain heights provide bathing and drinking options for species of all sizes. Watch as songbirds, hummingbirds, butterflies, and beneficial insects discover this oasis in your garden.

The continuous water circulation keeps the water fresh and prevents stagnation, creating a healthier environment for wildlife while reducing mosquito breeding. The included Muck Buster® tablets help maintain water clarity naturally, ensuring your fountain remains beautiful and inviting throughout the season.

Installation & Placement

The complete kit includes everything needed for professional installation. The 49" square basin provides a stable foundation for all three fountains, while the powerful 1,495 GPH pump ensures adequate water flow to each piece. The 3-way flow control valve allows you to adjust each fountain independently, creating your perfect water display—from gentle bubbling to dramatic cascades.

Thanks to the lightweight GFRC construction, placement options are far more flexible than with natural stone fountains. Position your triple fountain kit in garden beds, on patios, near seating areas, or as a stunning entryway focal point. The reduced weight also simplifies seasonal adjustments or landscape redesigns.

Year-Round Beauty

GFRC's superior weather resistance ensures your fountain withstands the elements season after season. The material resists freeze-thaw damage, UV degradation, and weathering far better than natural stone, maintaining its beauty and structural integrity for years to come. Each handcrafted fountain is built to become a lasting centerpiece in your landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is GFRC and how does it compare to natural stone?
A: GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) is a high-performance composite material that's molded from actual stone boulders. It captures all the natural texture and beauty of real stone but weighs hundreds of pounds less and offers superior durability, freeze-thaw resistance, and longevity.

Q: How much do the three fountains weigh together?
A: The three fountains have a combined weight of approximately 140 lbs (Klamath 30 lbs, Hollow Springs 35 lbs, Tall Caldera 75 lbs). This is significantly lighter than equivalent natural stone fountains, which could weigh 500+ lbs.

Q: Do I need to purchase polished pebbles separately?
A: Yes, polished pebbles are sold separately. We recommend 5 bags (either Black #PPBK40 or Mixed Color #PPMX40) to properly cover the 49" square basin and create a professional finished appearance.

Q: Can I control the water flow to each fountain independently?
A: Absolutely! The included 3-way flow control valve allows you to adjust water flow to each of the three fountains independently, so you can customize the display to your preference.

Q: Is the fountain safe for birds and wildlife?
A: Yes, completely safe! The continuous water circulation keeps water fresh and oxygenated. The included Muck Buster® tablets are wildlife-safe and help maintain water clarity naturally without harmful chemicals.

Q: How often do I need to refill the basin?
A: Refill frequency depends on weather conditions, evaporation rates, and fountain flow settings. In hot, dry weather, you may need to add water every few days. An optional Auto Fill Kit (#ABDAUTO) can automate this process.

Q: Can this fountain withstand freezing temperatures?
A: GFRC has excellent freeze-thaw resistance, but we recommend winterizing your fountain in freezing climates. Drain the basin and pump, and protect the fountains according to best practices for your region.

Q: How difficult is installation?
A: The kit includes everything needed for installation along with a detailed manual. Most DIY enthusiasts can complete installation in a few hours. The lightweight GFRC construction makes positioning and setup much easier than natural stone.

Q: Can I add lighting to this fountain kit?
A: Yes! We offer two lighting options: the IllumiGlow® Fountain 3 Light Kit (#PB2897) for exterior uplighting, and the IllumiGlow® Fountain Plume Light Kit (#PB2903) for interior water illumination. Both create stunning nighttime displays.

Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Minimal maintenance is needed. Keep the basin filled with water, clean the pump intake periodically, use the included Muck Buster® tablets as directed, and rinse the fountains occasionally to remove debris or mineral deposits.
