Natural Brass Patina
Brass naturally develops a patina over time, transitioning from bright gold to warm amber and eventually to verdigris green. This aging adds authentic character. To maintain the original golden finish, apply brass polish periodically.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the brass change color over time?
A: Yes. Brass naturally develops a patina, transitioning from bright gold to warm amber and eventually to verdigris green. This aging is considered desirable. To maintain the original golden finish, apply brass polish or protective sealant periodically.
Q: What pump size do I need?
A: We recommend a pump that delivers 600-900 GPH at your installation height. Consider the vertical distance from pump to spout (head height) when selecting pump size, as flow decreases with height.
Q: Can I install this myself?
A: Professional installation is recommended. Proper installation requires drilling through the wall, waterproofing the penetration, providing structural backing, and making secure plumbing connections to prevent water damage.
Q: Do I need the Wall Spout Mini Basin Kit?
A: The basin kit (PBSSBK, sold separately) is recommended for a complete, self-contained wall fountain. It catches and recirculates water from the spout. You can also use the spout to feed water into an existing pond or water feature.
Q: What is the thread size on the back?
A: The spout has a 1" female thread connection on the back, a standard size that accommodates most plumbing fittings.
Q: Can this spout withstand freezing temperatures?
A: The brass spout is highly weather-resistant and can remain installed year-round. However, winterize the water system in freezing climates by draining all water from lines and pump to prevent freeze damage.
Q: How do I maintain the brass finish?
A: For natural patina development, no maintenance is required. To maintain the bright golden finish, periodically clean with brass polish and apply a protective sealant.
Q: How far does the water project from the wall?
A: Water typically extends 12-18 inches from the wall at recommended flow rates (600-900 GPH), allowing adequate clearance for basin placement while creating an attractive water arc.
Q: Is this suitable for both formal and informal gardens?
A: Absolutely. The calla lily's elegant form works beautifully in formal garden settings, while the natural brass patina makes it equally at home in cottage gardens and naturalistic landscapes.
