Easy setup. It took me about half an hour to create my water feature, and the vast majority of this time was filling the pot with sand and arranging the stones on the top. There really is very little in the way of component setup. The hydria fountain is powered by a rechargeable battery located within the unit. State of the art battery and power management technology are used to deliver an impressive runtime of up to two months on a single charge.

In Hellenistic times, during the third and first half of the second centuries B.C., a new regional type of hydria developed, known as the Hadra hydria (water jar used as a cinerary urn). These vessels take their name from the Hadra cemetery of Alexandria, Egypt, where many examples were first discovered in the late nineteenth century. However, scientific analysis and research have revealed that the Hadra hydriai were made in western Crete, and exported to Egypt. They were also used for burials on Crete and have been excavated in tombs at Phaistos. It's so easy - just create your display with the easy-to-assemble kit, add water and ENJOY! A water fountain soothes the senses and makes a peaceful addition to zen garden, patio, yoga studio, memorial garden, office, bedroom, kitchen, sunroom and more - indoors or out. Like its terracotta counterpart, the kalpis became the most popular form of bronze hydria in the fifth century B.C. These metal vessels were used not only for water but also as cinerary urns, ballot boxes, votive offerings, and as prizes for competitions held at Greek sanctuaries ( 26.50). The occasional inscription on a rim describes their use as an offering to a god or as a prize for an athletic or music competition. Many well-preserved examples of these bronze vessels have been found in tombs.Choose a watertight container, add the kit and customize the options for fountain height, timer and lights colors I’m impressed with this little kit.
