Blue Thumb Weeping Elm Tree Garden Fountain

Yes, because this fountain is made of real copper, it will naturally develop a patina over time when exposed to the elements. This process typically shifts the metal from its bright, original finish to a warmer, darker brown or greenish-blue tone, which many find adds character to the sculpture.

No, this is a recirculating system. The included Achelous AquaBox basin holds the water, which the pump then cycles back through the fountain, so you do not need to connect it to a water line.

The kit is designed for straightforward assembly and includes all necessary components, such as the pump, tubing, and basin. While you will need to dig a hole to bury the basin for a clean, flush look, the plumbing and pump setup are standard and manageable for most DIYers.

Yes, the kit includes a ball valve that allows you to control the water flow. This lets you dial in the intensity of the cascade to achieve your preferred sound level, whether you want a subtle trickle or a more pronounced rainfall effect.

The included 1495 gph Mag-Drive pump is designed for reliable, continuous operation in outdoor water features. It is robust enough to handle the flow requirements of the fountain, though we recommend keeping the basin free of debris to ensure the pump remains efficient.

If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, you should drain the water from the basin and pump during the winter months. Freezing water can expand and damage the pump or the basin, so it is best to store the pump indoors until spring.
