41" Outdoor Stone Pillar Garden Water Fountain

This unique design allows water to ripple over the upper moon globe then disappears into the tapered quarry pedestal below. It can go indoors or out and withstand the elements exceptionally well. Over time algae can form on the globe giving a rich antique look. This Fountain is made with a faux stone surface. Its primarily make up is fiberglass and its construction is the same as boat hulls or hot tubs. It holds up in all weather conditions very much like real stone.

Tip from Outdoor Living Trends:

Want Algae?

I really like the look of things to be natural in my backyard, even when they are not. So when we installed a plastic fountain and it ran for a few weeks and still looked plastic, I tried my friend's trick (she's a master gardener) to grow algae and smeared it with yogurt. It worked last year on my shaded fountain, but it didn't work like I had hoped on my plastic one that sits in the sun.

I think it just burned off or washed off. So instead I just smeared some algae off my shaded fountain that was already covered in algae. It worked the very next day. I guess it just needed to be 'established algae' to get it grow in the sun.

The trick is to leave your fountain on at all times, too. By doing this, you provide moisture for your algae to grow and you also eliminate a mosquito breeding ground by never letting the water stand still.

Also, if your fountain is really smooth, try some sandpaper and rough it up a bit to give the algae or yogurt something to stick to. If you need to start some algae, the yogurt does work nicely in a deeply shaded, moist area.
