Installation & Manuals

The Bronze MerBoy with Horn Fountain Sculpture requires placement on a solid, level surface capable of supporting its 21-pound weight plus the basin and water. It arrives as a single bronze sculpture, piped for water, requiring a separately purchased recirculating pump and fountain basin. Installation involves connecting the pump to a standard 110V GFCI-protected outlet, with professional assistance recommended for plumbing setup. The package includes installation and care instructions, detailing setup and maintenance, including winterization to protect against freezing. In cold climates, drain the fountain, remove the pump, and store it indoors, covering the sculpture with a waterproof cover to prevent damage. Regular cleaning with beeswax or polish can maintain the patina, or allow a natural bluish-green patina to develop for an aged look.

Warranty & Returns

Warranty: Metropolitan Galleries offers a limited warranty for the fountain, covering defects in materials and workmanship for residential use, though specific duration is not provided. Contact support for details.

Returns: Due to its handmade nature and weight (21 lbs), the Bronze MerBoy with Horn Fountain Sculpture is non-returnable. Exchanges for defective units may be possible within 30 days, subject to restocking and shipping fees, per retailer policies.
