Design Philosophy
Heiho fountains embody the Zenshu series' commitment to peaceful, serene design. The polished granite surfaces create a smooth water sheer that flows evenly down all sides, producing gentle sounds and mesmerizing visual movement. These fountains are particularly striking when arranged in groups of three, creating a rhythmic display of water and stone. Whether cube or cuboid, each Heiho fountain becomes a meditative focal point that enhances tranquil garden settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between cube and cuboid shapes?
A: Cubes have all sides the same length (like 18" × 18" × 18" or 24" × 24" × 24"). Cuboids are rectangular blocks where the height is different from the width and length (like 20" × 20" × 10" or 28" × 28" × 12").
Q: How much does each fountain weigh?
A: The 20" × 20" × 10" and 18" × 18" × 18" fountains weigh approximately 550 lbs each. The larger 24" and 28" fountains weigh approximately 980 lbs each. Professional installation equipment is typically required.
Q: Can I arrange multiple fountains together?
A: Yes. Heiho fountains are particularly stunning when arranged in groups, especially in threes. You can mix sizes or use matching sizes for different visual effects.
Q: What is included in each complete kit?
A: Every kit includes the polished granite fountain, appropriately sized Achelous basin, matched mag-drive pump, complete plumbing and tubing, black polished pebbles, MuckBuster water treatment tablets, and an installation manual.
Q: What are MuckBuster Tablets?
A: MuckBuster Tablets are water treatment products that help maintain water clarity and reduce organic buildup in fountain basins.
Q: Which size should I choose?
A: Consider your space and desired visual impact. The 20" × 20" × 10" is ideal for smaller gardens. The 18" cube and 24" sizes work well for medium spaces. The 28" × 28" × 12" and 24" cube create commanding presence in larger landscapes.
Q: Can I install this myself?
A: While kits include all components and installation manuals, the substantial weight (550-980 lbs) typically requires professional installation equipment such as a crane or heavy machinery for safe handling.
Q: What is the Achelous basin?
A: The Achelous and Achelous AquaBox are heavy-duty molded fountain basins specifically engineered to support the substantial weight of granite fountains without settling or collapse over time.
Q: Is this suitable for commercial installations?
A: Absolutely. Heiho fountains' premium granite construction, polished finish, and serene design make them ideal for commercial landscapes, hospitality settings, corporate campuses, and upscale residential properties.
