Fact Sheet

Thank You . . .

And congratulations on your purchase of an authentic Henri cast stone fountain.

With only simple care and maintenance, your Henri fountain will provide years of

pleasure and beauty. The Henri Fact Sheet offers basic guidelines for the

seasonal care and maintenance of your fountain. Your local Henri dealer will be

glad to help you with further inquiries. You can also visit our web site for product

information at www.henristudio.com.

General Maintenance

Each Henri fountain comes complete with pump, connections and specific

instructions. Please refer to those separate fountain instructions for installation

and assembly of your fountain.

All Henri fountains recirculate water using a submersible pump located within the

unit. The pump should be plugged into a GFCI receptacle only. To avoid damage

to the pump, your fountain should never be allowed to run dry. Please refer to

separate pump instructions for further information on pump care and

maintenance. To avoid continually plugging and unplugging your fountain, you

may wish to add a Henri Remote Control, available from your local Henri dealer

or at www.henristudio.com.

Henri fountains are handmade of premium cast stone, and are most often

finished with either penetrating stains or sealer-type paints. Often, various relic

and antique looks are then created by hand for a rich appearance. Henri Studio

offers a wide range of beautiful, trend-setting finishes, which will weather and age

gracefully over the years to unique effect. Your fountain may also be in natural,

unfinished cast stone.

Should you choose to refinish your fountain after a number of years, your local

Henri dealer can provide you with a Henri Refinishing Kit. For finishes using

matte or clear sealers, Henri Sealer Spray is an effective treatment. And, to

protect the appearance of products finished in Henri Relic Stains, use Henri

Relic Sealer. Henri care products are available from your local Henri dealer, or

at www.henristudio.com.

To camouflage minor nicks, dings and scratches, use a dab of virtually any

similarly-colored paint. For finishes that have a black or dark antique effect, use

black paint; for lighter antiques, use white. Simply dab the paint onto the scratch,

and wipe off the excess as you blend it into the surface for a virtually invisible

touch up.

Henri’s Relic Stains create a rich and complex look that is unique to each Henri

fountain. These finishes are etched into the cast stone surface. Due to the initial

release of salts released from the cast stone by these penetrating stains, your

fountain water may have a yellow or green tinge when initially filled. The green

color will gradually disappear and the water will eventually clear as the fountain

water cycles through normal evaporation and refilling.

Depending upon temperature and evaporation, you may encounter a build up of

white residue on the surfaces of your fountain. This is unavoidable in areas with

high mineral content, especially calcium and lime, in the local water supply. More

frequent rinsing of the fountain and replacement of the water will help to minimize

this occurrence. To remove lime buildup, use Henri Lime Remover, available

from your local Henri dealer or at www.henristudio.com. This surface cleaner is

designed to foam away lime deposits without damaging the cast stone surface.

Be sure to follow all cleaning directions on the bottle.

To help keep fountain water clear from sludge, algae and cloudiness, use Henri

Water Clarifier. Henri Water Clarifier also helps to prevent fountain water from

becoming dirty, and improves submersible pump efficiency. To protect the finish,

pumps, and tubing, do NOT use chlorine or harsh chemicals such as TSP or

CLR to clean or clear the water.

Winter Care

The quality of Henri cast stone is legendary. Henri Studio has been refining its

proprietary process and mix for over fifty years, and your Henri fountain or décor

item has been manufactured from only the finest materials for resistance to

weather.

Extreme and rapid changes in temperature and humidity affect all cast stone

adversely. Cast stone has an inherent tendency to expand and contract with

climatic conditions, as evidenced by the expansion joints engineered into

concrete sidewalks and driveways. Although normal surface shrinkage cracks

may occasionally appear, crumbling and cracking can be avoided if you:

●Do not allow water to collect and freeze in fountain bowls and shells.

●Do not allow water to collect and freeze in planters and birdbaths.

●Do not allow statuary or pedestals to sit in a pool of ice.

One-Year Limited Warranty Cast stone products left exposed to icy conditions may shale or crack due to the mechanical force of water solidifying and expanding against the concrete surface. If indoor storage of your Henri fountain, birdbath, planter, statue or bench during cold-weather winters is not possible, you must protect it from ice collection and exposure.
