Faux Stacked Slate Fountain Kit - Aquascape

Bring the look of natural stacked stone and moving water into your landscape with the Aquascape Faux Stacked Slate Fountain Kit. This lightweight, durable composite fountain recreates the layered texture of real slate in a tall, tapered urn form with rounded shoulders and a broad upper rim. Mottled gray and earthy brown tones complement the rugged horizontal stone texture, while water emerging from the top adds movement and a gentle, relaxing sound.

Designed for outdoor landscapes, garden beds, patios, and entry areas, this fountain creates the substantial look of a stone water feature without requiring a solid stone fountain. The detailed kit configurations pair the fountain with an Achelous AquaBox® reservoir, appropriately sized fountain pump, plumbing, auto-fill equipment, water treatment, and decorative polished pebbles for a more complete installation.

Why Choose This Fountain?

The Faux Stacked Slate Fountain offers the visual character of layered stone in a distinctive vertical design that can serve as a landscape focal point without the weight of a comparable solid-stone feature. The Achelous fountain reservoir stores the recirculating water beneath the finished pebble area, while the included pump sends water back through the fountain. The auto-fill kit can help maintain the operating water level when it is properly connected to a water source.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes with the Faux Stacked Slate Fountain Kit?

The three detailed complete-kit sizes include the fountain, corresponding Achelous basin, specified pump, 4 feet of 3/4" fountain hose with quick disconnects, Fountain Basin Auto Fill Kit, 24 Muck Buster® Tablets, and four 40 lb. bags of polished pebbles.

How difficult is installation?

The fountain is designed as an easy-to-install kit. Installation includes positioning and leveling the basin and fountain, connecting the pump and hose, adding water, and finishing the basin area with the included polished pebbles.

Does the fountain need plumbing?

The recirculating fountain connection uses the included fountain hose. A separate water source is needed if you want to connect and use the included auto-fill system.

Will I still need to check the water level?

Yes. The auto-fill kit can help maintain the water level when properly installed, but regular checks are still recommended because fountains can lose water through evaporation and splash.

Is fountain lighting included?

No fountain lighting is listed among the included components for these kits.

What maintenance does the fountain need?

Periodically check the water level, keep debris away from the pump and reservoir, and inspect the pump for buildup. The included Muck Buster® Tablets can be used as part of routine fountain care. Additional fountain water treatments are available for ongoing maintenance.

What should I do with the fountain during winter?

In freezing climates, winterize the fountain by draining exposed components and removing or protecting the pump. Follow Blue Thumb or manufacturer care instructions for seasonal storage and protection.

With rugged stacked-slate character, multiple size choices, and complete supporting components in the listed kit configurations, the Faux Stacked Slate Fountain makes it easier to create a polished outdoor water feature with the look and movement of natural stone.
