Blue Thumb Ichise Fountain Kit

Not at all. This is a self-contained kit, meaning all the essential plumbing and components are included. You will need to dig a small hole for the basin, but the system is designed for straightforward assembly without requiring professional plumbing skills.

Basalt is a dense, durable volcanic rock that is naturally weather-resistant. While the stone itself can withstand the elements, you should drain the pump and plumbing lines during winter to prevent ice damage to the internal components.

The three cascading plumes create a rhythmic, noticeable trickle. It is designed to provide a soothing background sound that masks ambient noise, such as traffic, without being overwhelming or disruptive.

No, it is a recirculating system. You fill the basin once, and the pump continuously cycles the same water through the plumes. You will only need to top off the basin occasionally to account for natural evaporation.

Because this is a large-format, heavy stone feature, it is best suited for a solid, level ground surface like a patio paver or a reinforced garden bed. It is not recommended for standard wooden decks unless the structure has been specifically reinforced to support the weight of the stone and the water-filled basin.
