Blue Thumb Rustic Basalt Fountain Kit

The kit is designed for straightforward in-ground installation. Because it includes the basin, pump, and all necessary plumbing, you primarily need to excavate the area for the basin, level it, and connect the components, though you should be prepared for some manual labor to handle the weight of the stone.

Basalt is incredibly durable and requires very little maintenance. Over time, the stone will naturally develop a patina, which many owners prefer, but you can gently scrub it with a soft brush and water if you want to remove algae or debris buildup.

Yes, you should winterize the fountain to prevent damage. Disconnect the pump, drain the basin, and store the pump indoors in a bucket of water to keep the seals from drying out, while covering the basin to prevent debris accumulation.

Yes, the included Mag-Drive pump features an adjustable flow control. This allows you to dial in the water movement to your preference, whether you want a gentle trickle or a more robust flow.

Absolutely. The kit includes a heavy-duty Achelous Aquabox basin specifically engineered to support the significant weight of natural basalt columns without warping or collapsing.

The fountain is designed to contain water within the basin, but wind can occasionally cause minor splashing. We recommend placing the fountain in a location protected from high winds to minimize water loss and ensure the basin stays filled.
