Blue Thumb Basalt Fountain Kit

The kit is designed for straightforward installation, as it includes the basin, high-performance pump, and all necessary plumbing. Because the stones have saw-cut bottoms for stability and are core-drilled for the plumbing, you primarily need to level the ground and connect the components.

Basalt is an incredibly durable, dense volcanic stone that stands up well to the elements. You will primarily need to keep the water clean, remove debris from the basin, and ensure the pump intake remains clear to maintain consistent flow.

This kit is designed for ground installation, meaning you will need to dig a hole to accommodate the basin. It is not suitable for placement directly on top of a deck or patio surface without significant structural modification.

The polished, bowled tops are designed to create a gentle, cascading water effect rather than a loud splash. It provides a soft, ambient sound that is perfect for creating a serene atmosphere without overwhelming a conversation.

Yes, in climates where temperatures drop below freezing, you should drain the water, remove the pump, and store it indoors. Leaving water in the basin or plumbing during a freeze can cause damage to the components.

The columns are separate pieces, which gives you the flexibility to arrange them as a trio or place them individually depending on your landscape design. They all feed into the single included basin.
