GFRC is what architectural cladding is cast from. It is heavier and colder to the touch. It reads as a built element rather than an object someone set down in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt gives you two water sounds from one feature. The upper bowl spills into the lower basin, so you get a defined fall as well as the movement in the catch below. That layering is why it works in a courtyard where a single trickle would disappear under traffic noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe size difference is substantial. The 49\/52cm runs an Ultra 2100 into a 102 litre AquaBasin 30. The 81\/102cm steps up to an AquaBasin 45 holding 370 litres with an Ultra 4500, at about 172kg. Treat the large one as a landscaping job rather than a delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatina and Iron Ore are genuinely different decisions. Patina is the green-grey verdigris look that softens against planting. Iron Ore is a dark charcoal that holds its line against rendered walls and dark joinery. Neither is a paint finish, so neither will peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow a self-contained fountain actually works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a closed loop with half of it buried. The same water circulates continuously. Nothing ever stands in an open pond, which is the whole point of the format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col style=\"list-style:none;margin:16px 0 0;padding:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"position:relative;border:1px solid #E6E6E6;border-radius:10px;padding:14px 18px 14px 62px;margin:0 0 10px;background:#FFFFFF;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"position:absolute;left:18px;top:14px;width:30px;height:30px;border-radius:50%;background:#8A5A34;color:#FFFFFF;font-family:Inter,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:600;line-height:30px;text-align:center;\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"display:block;font-size:15.5px;color:#121417;margin:0 0 3px;\"\u003eA reservoir goes in the ground\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:block;font-size:14.5px;color:#4F525A;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eYou dig a shallow hole and drop the basin in.
