Blue Thumb SkizukaZen Fountain Kit

Yes, the fountain weighs 790 pounds, which provides significant stability. Because of this substantial weight, it is designed to sit securely on a level, compacted surface without needing additional anchoring.

Yes, it is a complete, self-contained kit. You will receive the natural basalt fountain, the molded basin, the 800 GPH mag-drive pump, all necessary plumbing and tubing, and the decorative black polished pebbles.

Maintenance is relatively straightforward. You will need to keep the basin free of debris, occasionally clean the pump intake to ensure proper flow, and top off the water level to compensate for natural evaporation.

While the kit is designed for a seamless installation, the weight of the basalt piece is significant. You will likely need heavy-duty equipment or professional assistance to safely position the stone, though the plumbing and pump setup are manageable for a DIYer.

The 800 GPH mag-drive pump is designed for high performance and reliability. While you will hear the soothing sound of cascading water, the pump itself operates quietly, ensuring the focus remains on the water feature rather than mechanical noise.

Natural basalt is extremely durable and weather-resistant. Over time, the stone may develop a natural patina or slight moss growth depending on your climate, which many owners find enhances the authentic, organic aesthetic of the piece.
