Blue Thumb Basalt Fountain Kit

Because the columns are made from Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) rather than solid stone, they are significantly lighter and easier to position. While the kit includes everything you need—pumps, basin, and plumbing—you will still need to level the ground and manage the electrical connection, so a helper is recommended for the initial setup.

No, this is a recirculating system. The pump moves water from the basin up through the columns, where it cascades back down into the reservoir to be used again. You will only need to top off the water level occasionally to account for natural evaporation.

Yes, the GFRC material is weather-resistant and durable. However, you must drain the basin and disconnect the pumps before the first hard freeze to prevent water from expanding and cracking the internal plumbing or damaging the pump housing.

Maintenance is straightforward. You should clean the pump intake periodically to prevent debris buildup and use a water treatment product if you notice algae growth. Since it is a closed system, keeping the water clean is the primary task.

Yes, the kit includes flow control valves that allow you to adjust the water pressure for each column. This gives you the flexibility to create a subtle trickle or a more robust, cascading water effect depending on your preference.
