The aquascape faux basalt column - 42" h (107 cm) fountain makes it easier than ever to create an impressive, recirculating fountain. the column measures 42 inches high and 12 inches (30 cm) wide at the base. The fountain is molded from real basalts and is handmade in the USA using fiberglass, resin, and real stone to provide a realistic and durable fountain. Real basalt is extremely heavy and can be difficult to install. Due to the lightweight nature of the faux basalt, installation is quick and easy. The column provides a convenient base, making it easy to secure in place using decorative gravel. the included tubing and plumbing fitting are installed easily into the recessed area at the top of the fountain. If desired, add a color-changing or warm white fountain light to illuminate the water (#84072, #84008 sold separately). the fountain can be added to custom installations or paired with an Aquabasin 45 and ultra 1100 water pump for a simple, complete setup.
