RIVER ROCK PILLAR FOUNTAIN
Two Plugs, So the Lights and the Water Are Separate
Almost every lit fountain wires the pump and the LEDs to one plug, which means the lights are on whenever the water is and off whenever it is not. This one has two cords. That sounds like a small thing until the evening you want the sound of water on the patio without a lit object in your eye line, or the night you want the pillar glowing quietly with the pump off.
The pillar is built from river rock stacked into a vertical column, rounded stones rather than flat slabs, with the water finding its way down through the gaps between them. Mostly cool gray, with warmer ochre stones set in at irregular points so the stack does not read as one molded shape. The seven lights sit at different heights rather than in a row.
At fifty one inches and fifty two pounds it runs roughly twice the weight of typical resin at this height, which is what lets it stand on a patio or a lawn without anchoring. A lighter piece this tall needs pinning or a weighted base. This one just stands there.
What You Get With This River Rock Fountain
-
01
Two independent plugs.
Water without lights, lights without water, or both together. Nearly everything else in this category gives you one switch for the pair.
-
02
Fifty two pounds at fifty one inches.
Roughly double the weight of typical resin at this height, so it stays put on a patio or a lawn with no anchoring and no weighted base.
-
03
Seven lights at seven heights.
Set at irregular points up the column rather than in a row, so after dark the lit water reads as scattered highlights instead of a strip of lighting.
-
04
Rounded river rock, not flat slabs.
The water threads down through the gaps between stones rather than dropping off ledges, which gives a softer and more continuous sound than a stepped waterfall does.
Fifty one inches is tall enough to work on its own rather than tucked beside planting, so a poolside fountain spot, the corner of a deck or the end of a patio all suit it. A dark wall or fence behind it makes the lit water read better after dark. It stands on its own weight, so what you need is level ground and two outlets or one outlet with a two socket adapter, not a pad and not anchors.
