Design Toscano Turtle Spitter Fountain Statue, 4.5" H Hand-Painted Stone-Finish with 3/8" Brass Fitting

Design Toscano's Sprinke the Turtle Piped Spitter Statue is a hand-cast, hand-painted resin fountain figure designed to gently spout water from the turtle's mouth and add decorative movement and sound to ponds, water gardens, and fountains.

Give a quiet pond or water feature an instant focal point with this charming turtle spitter. Sprinke combines a realistic stone-like finish with the practicality of a built-in 3/8" brass male connection tube so you can attach a small pump and tubing to make the turtle spout water. The statue is crafted from crushed stone blended with quality designer resin, then individually hand-painted, resulting in a durable decorative accent that resists weathering while delivering the calming sight and sound of flowing water.

How does Sprinke install on a pond or fountain?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic pond equipment. The statue includes a 3/8"-diameter brass male connection tube that accepts common fountain tubing; pair it with a compatible pump kit to start the water flow. Position Sprinke at a shallow edge or on a flat surface within the pond so the turtle's mouth is clear of debris.

• 3/8" brass male connection for secure tubing attachment
• Compatible with optional DR-120 pump kit (sold separately)
• Lightweight 2 lb statue for easy placement
• Dimensions: 9½" W x 6" D x 4½" H for small-to-medium water features

What materials and finish will withstand outdoor use?

Sprinke is hand-cast from real crushed stone mixed with a high-quality designer resin, giving it the look and texture of stone with the resilience of modern materials. Each piece is hand-painted by artisans, creating natural color variation and a protective finish that helps the figure resist fading and moisture. Regular seasonal care will further prolong its appearance.

• Crushed stone bonded with designer resin for durability
• Hand-painted finish for authentic, detailed coloration
• Resistant to outdoor conditions when maintained properly

What pump and tubing do I need to make the turtle spout water?

The statue accepts standard 3/8" tubing on its brass male connection, so any small fountain pump with matching tubing will work. Design Toscano recommends the DR-120 pump kit as an optional match, but other low-flow pond pumps are compatible too. Choose a pump that provides gentle flow for a steady spout without splashing.

• Use 3/8" flexible tubing for a snug fit on the brass fitting
• DR-120 pump kit is compatible; other low-flow pumps also work
• Select pump flow to match desired spout height and sound

Who is this for? Sprinke the Turtle is ideal for gardeners and homeowners who want a small, attractive water feature accent that adds movement and sound without a large installation. It fits patios, small ponds, water gardens, and tabletop fountains where a compact, hand-finished statue can be connected to a modest pump. It's also a good choice for buyers who value artisanal details—each piece is uniquely hand-painted—combined with simple engineering that accommodates common tubing and pumps.
