Bubbling Basalt Column Fountain, H6″ x 8″

Looking for a unique fountain for your landscape or garden? This natural basalt bubbling column is pre-drilled to be used as a fountain that will provide a soothing water sound.  This Bubbling Fountain is an ideal addition for any garden fountain, entry fountain, patio fountain, pound fountain, etc…

• Approximate Dimensions: 6″ H x 8″ W x 12″ D
• Material: Basalt
• Pump is not included – as pump size will depend on how the fountain is set up.
• Check out this Blog Post to see a large basalt fountain project installed beginning to end.
• And if you’d like to learn more about fountain maintenance, we have many blog posts about that in this area of our website.

Please Note:

• Photo is representative of the typical carving details on this fountain. Each hand carved fountain is a little different than the next based on the artisan that carved it.
• Variations in the natural stone can exhibit unique veining and coloration.  So, you can be assured that no one in the world will have one EXACTLY like yours!
• Also, if this color of granite doesn’t work well with your surroundings, we also have other colors of this type of fountain here: Basalt Fountains
• Keep in mind though, that natural stone is typically a lighter color when it’s dry vs a darker/more vibrant color when it’s wet. 
  • Check the sample page photos, noted in the material heading above, to see what this granite looks like wet vs dry.
  • If you like the lighter color, you can seal it with a product called Miracle 511 Porous Plus, to keep it that way for several years, and also make it easier to clean if algae – dirt get on it. 
  • Or, if you like the darker version of the color, you would seal it with a product called Miracle 511 Seal/Enhance – to keep it that color for several years (until the sealer wears off.)

We recommend installing a pondless basin if you plan on using this fountain, with polished rocks as shown at the base:

You can make a Disappearing Fountain and place this centerpiece over a pond less basin.

• The pump sits within the gravel-covered plastic basin dug into the ground directly beneath the fountain and the water runs down to the polished rocks on the ground.
• An autofill kit can be mounted to the inside wall of the pondless basin basin, so then you do not even have to fill it up with a hose. 
  • Please note, the water must fall into rocks over the basin, wood chips should not be installed there, as they will degrade over time and foul your pump.
• Here is a blog post to explain more about this kind of fountain installation: Installing a Disappearing Fountain
• This kind of installation (as well as the modified self contained) is very good if you have many trees in the area, which would otherwise drop leaves into a pool, and cause major maintenance needs with your pump.

Here is an example of 4 different height basalt fountains (48″, 36″, 30″ and  24″ tall) running over a 4′ Diameter Pondless Basin (under the polished rocks):
