I put in this free standing pedestal type off of our two patios. Really nice sound to mask traffic. Also right outside our master bedroom.
I pulled power and fresh water supply over, it's nice to be able to add water without dragging a hose over. I also poured the larger concrete base. Just felt like it needed a little more height and slightly bigger footprint. Plan is to eventually tile the bigger base. It runs on a 620 GPH pump.
This is in full sun the majority of the day. Algae grows fast! We use a Beckett fountain care product rather than chlorine. Easier on the surrounding landscape and birds drinking the water. I drain it every couple of months and clean with bleach, then start over with the algae care.
Really a nice addition to our patio area. Worth the effort!
