Product Information

Full details

This classic 3-tier water fountain by All Pond Solutions is designed for garden owners seeking to add a touch of modern, antique-inspired style and the soothing sound of flowing water. Its key benefit is the easy, self-contained setup requiring no mains water or complex wiring. A potential caveat is the need for regular water top-ups to maintain optimal pump function. Key features include a durable, rust and weather-resistant stone effect design, water cascading from tier to tier, and an included submersible pump with a 5-meter cable for flexible placement.

FAQs

Do I need to connect this fountain to a water supply?

No, this is a self-contained water feature. You only need to fill the basin with water.

How often should I add water?

This depends on evaporation rates, which are influenced by temperature, wind, and sunlight. Check the water level daily or every few days and top up as needed to ensure the pump remains submerged.

What type of power source does it need?

It requires a standard outdoor-rated electrical socket. The included pump has a 5-meter power cable.

Can I leave the fountain on all the time?

Yes, the included pump is designed for continuous operation. However, always ensure the water level is sufficient to keep the pump submerged.

How do I clean the fountain?

Use a soft brush and clean water to wipe down the surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Periodically clean the pump's intake to prevent clogs.

What maintenance is required for winter?

In areas prone to freezing temperatures, it is recommended to drain all water from the fountain and store the pump indoors to prevent damage from frost.

Is the stone effect material durable?

Yes, the antique stone effect is designed to be durable and resistant to rust and weather, helping it maintain its appearance over time.

Troubleshooting

Fountain not working / No water flow

Ensure the pump is fully submerged in water. Check that the power cable is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Inspect the pump intake for any blockages.

Pump making noise

This often indicates low water levels. Top up the water until the pump is fully submerged. If the noise persists, check the pump for debris or internal issues.

Water level drops quickly

Check for leaks in the basin or connections between tiers. Increased evaporation due to sun or wind may also be a factor; ensure adequate water top-ups.

Algae or scaling buildup

Clean the fountain and pump regularly with a soft brush and water. Consider using a fountain cleaner specifically designed for stone-effect features, following product instructions carefully. Regular water changes can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Place the fountain on a stable, level surface in your desired location.
  2. Ensure the pump's power cable can reach a suitable outdoor-rated electrical socket.
  3. Fill the lowest basin with clean water until the pump is fully submerged.
  4. Plug in the pump; water should begin to flow through the tiers.

Compatibility:

  • This water feature is designed for outdoor use.
  • Requires a standard outdoor electrical socket.
  • Can be used with tap water; however, using filtered or de-chlorinated water may help reduce mineral buildup.

Care:

  • Regularly check the water level and top up as needed to keep the pump submerged. Evaporation will occur, especially in hot or windy conditions.
  • Periodically clean the pump intake to prevent blockages from debris (e.g., leaves, algae). Refer to the pump's manual for specific cleaning instructions.
  • Clean the fountain itself using a soft brush and clean water. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the material and harm plants or wildlife if present.
  • Winter Care: In freezing temperatures, it is recommended to drain the fountain and store the pump indoors to prevent frost damage.
