A budding lotus finial sits at the summit. Water leaves the finial, fills the upper bowl, and falls in even strands to the wide lower basin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost classical fountains at this height use three tiers, which means three smaller bowls. Using two allows each one to be considerably wider, and the lower basin here is generous enough to read as a pool rather than as a catch tray. That changes the proportion from vertical and busy to broad and settled.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConcrete rather than resin gives it the mass the shape implies.

Two bowls at the same height can each be much wider, so the lower basin becomes a broad still pool with real presence and the whole piece sits low and settled rather than stacking upward. If you have looked at three tier fountains and found them fussy, this is the proportion that solves it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcanthus relief on every element.\u003c\/strong\u003e The carved leaf motif runs around both bowl rims, the central baluster, and the base, so the ornament is consistent throughout rather than applied to one part.

Because each bowl is wide, the sheet crossing the rim is longer and the sound is broader and softer than a narrow three tier piece produces. The carved relief splits it into strands rather than one continuous wash. It carries a few metres, enough to soften background noise on a patio. How loud it seems will still shift with the water level and the hard surfaces around it, which is why a fixed decibel number would tell you nothing useful about your own garden.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/section\u003e \u003csection class=\"wfo-a-section\"\u003e \u003ch3\u003eQuick Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable class=\"wfo-a-spec-table\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo tier classical fountain with lotus finial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConcrete\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAged buff with acanthus leaf relief\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47.2 in.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWater flow\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo tier overflow cascade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePump\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded recirculating pump\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAC plug in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWater connection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSelf-contained, no plumbing required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAssembly\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequired, tiers ship separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRecommended use\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutdoor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003c\/section\u003e \u003csection class=\"wfo-a-section\"\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSetup, Care, and Warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdetails\u003e \u003csummary\u003eAssembly and placement\u003c\/summary\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"wfo-a-answer\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe tiers stack on site with no plumbing to connect.
