Blue Thumb Copper Weeping Elm Tree

Yes, because this fountain is made from real copper, it will naturally develop a unique patina over time when exposed to the elements. This aging process is a characteristic of the material and adds to the sculpture's individual charm.

The kit includes the sculpture, the Achelous AquaBox basin, and the pump. You will need to dig a hole to house the basin, level the ground, and provide a standard outdoor electrical outlet for the pump.

Yes, the kit does not include decorative stones or pebbles to cover the basin. You will need approximately 200 pounds of river rock or decorative stones to hide the AquaBox and complete the aesthetic.

The frequency depends on your local environment and the amount of debris that falls into the water. We recommend checking the stainless steel mesh prefilter every few weeks to ensure the pump maintains its 1495 GPH flow rate.

In areas that experience freezing temperatures, you should drain the water from the system and store the pump indoors. Leaving water in the pump or basin during a freeze can cause damage to the equipment.

The 1495 GPH pump provides a robust flow that creates a noticeable, soothing water sound. Because the water cascades over the copper branches, the volume is generally sufficient to mask moderate background noise like distant traffic.
