Frequently Asked Questions
What is GFRC and why is it better than real stone?
GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) looks identical to natural stone but weighs significantly less. This kit weighs only 150 lbs total vs. 400+ lbs for real stone, making installation safer and easier.
What's included?
Two GFRC bubbling boulders (34"H and 39"H), one accent rock (6"H), 4'×4' basin with grate (70-gallon), 1,110 GPH pump, flow control valve, plumbing, Muck Buster® tablets, and manual. Polished pebbles sold separately.
What is the Foothills Accent Rock for?
The low-profile accent rock (6" high) adds natural character and helps conceal basin edges for a more organic, naturalistic appearance.

Medium: 21"W × 19"D × 34"H (60 lbs), Tall: 21"W × 22"D × 39"H (70 lbs), Accent: 17"W × 19"D × 6"H (20 lbs).
Do I need polished pebbles?
Highly recommended. They conceal the basin grate and create a finished professional appearance. We recommend 5 bags.

Yes! The lightweight GFRC construction makes DIY installation feasible. The kit includes a detailed manual. The 150 lb total weight is manageable with 2-3 people.
Is this safe for children and pets?
Yes, pondless systems create zero liability because there's no open water. Water circulates through the covered basin.
How much maintenance is required?
Minimal. Keep basin filled, clean pump intake periodically, and use included Muck Buster® tablets. Winterize in freezing climates.
