Handcrafted in Michigan | Complete Recirculating Fountain Kit
Mountain Spring Rock Fountain Kit
Bring the movement and sound of a natural mountain spring into your landscape. Our Mountain Spring Rock Fountain features a broad, tiered boulder profile with water bubbling from the top and cascading over textured stone-like ledges. Handcrafted from glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC), it delivers the character of natural stone without the weight of a solid boulder.
The complete kit pairs the fountain with a concealed water reservoir, pump and connecting plumbing, creating a self-contained water feature for gardens, courtyards and outdoor living spaces.
36" × 24" × 24" Fountain dimensions (L × W × H)
Approx. 75 lb. GFRC fountain weight
70 Gallons Concealed basin capacity
530 GPH Included Mag-Drive pump
Natural Rock Character, Built for Moving Water
Layered Cascading Water
Water moves over multiple stepped surfaces rather than falling from a single outlet. The included ball valve lets you adjust the water movement and sound.
Handcrafted GFRC
Molded from natural rock and finished by hand, the fountain captures realistic stone texture in a hollow, more manageable structure.
Complete Core System
The matched reservoir, pump, grate, screen, plumbing and flow control are included, helping simplify component selection during installation.
Is This the Right Size for Your Space?
The visible fountain measures 36 inches long by 24 inches wide and stands 24 inches high. The underground basin requires a footprint of approximately 49 to 50 inches square, plus working space for excavation, backfill, maintenance access and possible wind-driven overspray.
Looking for a smaller version? Compare our Mini Mountain Spring Fountain Kit, which features a 22" × 20" × 15" rock profile.
What's Included with the Mountain Spring Kit?
We supply the main recirculating fountain components together. Choose your preferred GFRC rock color when ordering; landscape materials and optional enhancements are purchased separately.

Planning & Installing Your Fountain
Review the installation manual before excavation. Proper basin placement, leveling, electrical access and plumbing connections are important for reliable operation.
1
Choose the Location
Choose a level area with space for the entire basin and any potential overspray. Locate underground utilities before digging, and plan access to water and a grounded, GFCI-protected outlet.
2
Excavate & Prepare the Base
Dig for the approximately 49-inch-square basin, allowing its upper edge to sit about 1 inch above grade. In unstable soil, the manual specifies an additional 3 inches of compacted crushed rock or gravel beneath the basin.
3
Level & Backfill
Level the basin front to back and side to side. Position the pump-access corner and auto-fill fitting toward the electrical source, then backfill firmly to minimize future settling.
4
Install Pump, Plumbing & Fountain
Place the pump and valve assembly inside the basin. Install the grate and screen, route the hose through the intended openings, and hand-tighten the connection to the fountain. Position the rock carefully without pinching or binding the hose.
5
Fill, Adjust & Finish
Fill the reservoir to approximately the bottom of the grate. Start the pump, inspect connections and adjust the ball valve to achieve your preferred water movement. Cover the screen with decorative stone, keeping the pump-access area available for service.
Important handling warning: Never lift or carry the GFRC fountain by the hose-union assembly inside the rock. Use the proper lifting points and follow the official installation instructions.
Electrical safety: Disconnect power before handling the pump or servicing the fountain. Do not lift the pump by its power cord, and never operate it without water.
Care, Maintenance & Seasonal Protection
Routine Fountain Care
- Maintain the reservoir water level near the bottom of the grate. Never allow the pump to run dry.
- Check the pump pre-filter and impeller periodically for accumulated debris or reduced flow.
- Use a garden hose to clean the GFRC surface. Mild soap and a soft-bristle brush may be used when necessary.
- Continuous operation or an outdoor-rated timer are both options. A timer is not included.
- During the first three to four weeks after installation, running continuously can help minimize concrete efflorescence. Brush away mineral deposits while still wet.
Winter Care in Freezing Climates
When regular or prolonged freezing is expected, shut down the fountain and disconnect the pump. Store the pump in a bucket of water in a protected, above-freezing location to prevent seals from drying out.
Do not completely empty the buried fountain basin for winter. Our current maintenance instructions specify leaving it approximately 50% full to help reduce movement from frost heave. The GFRC fountain may remain outdoors during winter when maintained according to the instructions.
In spring, clean and refill the reservoir with fresh water, reconnect the pump and inspect the system before restarting.
Component Warranty Coverage
Different parts of this kit carry different warranty terms. Refer to our official warranty document for limitations and claim requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mountain Spring a complete fountain kit?
Yes. The kit contains the Mountain Spring GFRC fountain, 4×4 reservoir, grate, screen, 530 GPH Mag-Drive pump, adjustable ball valve, connecting plumbing and installation instructions. Decorative pebbles, landscape materials and optional accessories are purchased separately.
Which fountain color will I receive?
Choose either Dapple Gray or Chestnut Brown when ordering. Each fountain is finished by hand, so slight variations in appearance are part of its natural-rock character.
How much space should I allow for installation?
The fountain itself measures 36" × 24", while the buried reservoir is approximately 49–49.5 inches square. Allow additional clearance for excavation, decorative finishing, maintenance access and possible splash beyond the reservoir.
Do I need a permanent water connection?
No. The fountain uses a recirculating reservoir, so a permanent water line is not required. You will need to add water periodically to replace evaporation and splash loss. Our optional Auto Fill Kit can maintain the water level when connected to a suitable supply.
Can I adjust the waterfall sound and water flow?
Yes. The included ball valve allows you to adjust the water moving over the rock. We recommend testing the flow before completing the decorative stone around the basin.
Can I add lighting after purchasing the fountain?
Lighting is optional. We offer both exterior accent lighting and plume lighting for the fountain outlet. Review the lighting-kit requirements before ordering, particularly if you are adding an interior plume light to a fountain that is already installed.
Can the Mountain Spring fountain run continuously?
Yes. Our installation instructions allow continuous operation or use with an outdoor-rated timer. Keep the pump submerged and check reservoir water levels regularly. Running dry can damage the pump and affect warranty coverage.
How should I prepare the fountain for winter?
In climates with prolonged freezing, disconnect the pump and store it in water above freezing. Leave the underground basin approximately 50% full rather than draining it completely. The GFRC fountain may remain outdoors; follow the full winterization instructions in our maintenance guide.
