Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between faux basalt and natural basalt stone?
A: Faux basalt is engineered to replicate the authentic look and texture of natural volcanic basalt stone while offering several advantages. It provides consistent coloring and quality across all columns, superior weather and UV resistance, and is lighter in weight than natural stone, making installation easier. You get the stunning appearance of real basalt with enhanced durability and lower maintenance requirements.
Q: Do I need to winterize this fountain?
A: Yes, we recommend winterizing your fountain in climates where temperatures drop below freezing. Before the first freeze, drain all water from the pump, plumbing, and basin. Remove and store the pump indoors in a dry location. The faux basalt columns are frost-resistant and can remain in place, but ensure all water is removed from the system to prevent freeze damage to the pump and plumbing components.
Q: How much space do I need for this fountain?
A: The five columns can be arranged in various configurations to suit your space. A typical arrangement requires approximately 3-4 feet in diameter to accommodate all five columns with proper spacing. The tallest column stands 36" high, so plan for adequate vertical clearance as well. The flexible design allows you to adjust spacing based on your aesthetic preferences and available area.
Q: What size pump is included, and can I use my own?
A: The kit includes a professional-grade pump specifically sized to provide optimal water flow for all five columns. While you can use your own pump, we strongly recommend using the included pump as it's been selected to ensure proper water distribution and flow rates for the best visual and auditory effect. If you choose to use a different pump, consult with a water feature professional to ensure adequate GPH (gallons per hour) rating.
