FLUTED BASIN FOUNTAIN
Six Hundred and Fifty Gallons an Hour at Thirty One Inches
The flow rate is the unusual thing here. Six hundred and fifty gallons an hour through a thirty one inch fountain is considerably more than the category normally runs, and it holds six and a half gallons of water to feed it. What that buys you is a fountain that sounds like a bigger one. Small fountains usually disappoint on sound, because there is not enough water moving to make any.
The basins are shallow and wide with flutes radiating out from the center like the ribs of a shell, so the water spreads across them and comes off the edge already broken into channels rather than as one sheet. Four of them step down a column of stacked river rock, which is a rustic base under a fairly formal bowl shape.
Thirty one and a half inches tall but nearly nineteen wide, so the proportion is low and broad. That suits the front of a border, the foot of a wall or a spot beside steps, where a tall narrow piece would be wrong.
What You Get With This Fluted Basin Fountain
-
01
Six hundred and fifty gallons an hour.
A high flow rate for a thirty one inch piece, fed by a six and a half gallon reservoir. It is why this one actually sounds like a fountain rather than a trickle.
-
02
Fluted basins, not plain ones.
Flutes radiate from the center of each shallow bowl, so the water spreads across them and leaves the edge already broken into channels instead of as one flat sheet.
-
03
Low and broad, eighteen and a half inches wide at thirty one high.
That proportion suits the front of a border, the foot of a wall or a spot beside steps, where a tall narrow fountain would look wrong.

Twenty nine pounds, and it ships in pieces.
One person can move it, and even carrying it to the spot is straightforward because it goes together on site.
Low, and somewhere the sound gets used. This one moves enough water to be heard, so put it near seating, by a door you leave open, or at the foot of a wall that will throw the sound back rather than letting it go across a lawn. It needs eighteen and a half by fifteen inches of level ground. The tiers and base ship separately and stack on site, so level the ground and settle the position before you assemble it.
