WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE FOR GARDEN STATUES, VASES AND FOUNTAINS<\/h1>

It is important to take proper care of your pots when they remain empty. If drainage is not ensured for a pot containing a plant, the bottom hole may become clogged, causing rainwater to accumulate inside. During winter, this stagnant water can freeze, and as ice naturally expands, it may cause the pot to crack. To avoid this unpleasant issue\u2014and to protect both the plant and the pot\u2014it is advisable to:1- Keep the drainage hole clear \u2014 Before filling the pot with soil, place 4\u20135 cm of small stones at the bottom to ensure proper water outflow. 2- Check the ground where the pot rests \u2014 Clay soil can block the drainage hole from the outside, even if internal drainage is correct. It is recommended to raise the pot slightly using 3\u20134 cm of small stones. 3- Use the pot safely \u2014 Once drainage is ensured, the pot can safely host a plant or remain empty without risk.<\/p>

All items such as fountains, vases, statues, and similar products must be securely fixed in their intended location using appropriate techniques and, when necessary, mortars or adhesives capable of withstanding climatic variations. The pieces must be assembled so that they form a single, solid unit with the underlying base, which may require drilling or inserting brackets or iron rods. <\/p>

All manufactured items must be treated only and exclusively with transparent impregnating products; do not use detergents or degreasers on them, as these could damage the exposed surface.<\/p>

We cannot be held responsible for damage to people or property resulting from improper or inadequate use of the products.<\/p>

If you encounter any difficulties, doubts, or dissatisfaction of any kind, please write to us and inform us of the issue so we can resolve it and improve our service. Applying a transparent water\u2011repellent product (acrylic or water\u2011based) periodically slows the natural ageing of our items.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR GARDEN FOUNTAINS<\/h1>

Our fountains, designed for outdoor use, operate with a closed\u2011circuit pump and do not require a direct water connection. During operation, water may spray outside the basins due to rapid recirculation or external factors such as wind. The pump, whether submersible or dry\u2011mounted, must never run without water. It is therefore important to refill the fountain whenever necessary. <\/p>

During the winter season, all parts of the fountain must be completely drained of water (spray ring with nozzles, piping, basin, and pump). Covering the fountain with waterproof material when the temperature drops below 3\u00b0C is necessary to ensure its integrity. <\/p>

We recommend applying a waterproofing treatment in regions where particularly cold weather conditions may occur (our item SI05).<\/p>

It is essential to soften the water using a limescale\u2011removing and anti\u2011algae product (for example, our items CH01 and CH02). Please note that the presence of limescale on the pump rotor voids the warranty. <\/p>

CLEANING OF GARDEN STATUES, VASES AND FOUNTAINS<\/h1>

Wash the item periodically (no more than once a year) using water and a sponge.
If you use a low\u2011pressure water jet, you won\u2019t damage the item, but you may remove the ageing patina applied in treatments no. 2 \u2013 4 \u2013 5 \u2013 6 \u2013 7 \u2013 8 \u2013 9 \u2013 10 \u2013 11.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
