Blue Thumb Hollow Springs Boulder Fountain

No, this is a self-contained system. You simply fill the 12-gallon reservoir with water, and the included pump recirculates it, so there is no need for a dedicated plumbing line.

At 35 pounds, it is sturdy enough for most residential landscapes, but it is considered lightweight compared to natural stone. If you live in an area with extreme wind, you may want to place it in a sheltered spot or secure it slightly using the subsurface installation option.

To keep the water clear and the pump running efficiently, you should top off the water level weekly to account for evaporation. Depending on your local environment and debris, you may need to rinse the pump intake and wipe down the basin every few months.

Because the fountain is made of glass fiber reinforced concrete, it is durable, but you must drain the water completely before the first freeze. We recommend storing the pump indoors and covering the fountain to prevent water from collecting and freezing inside the basin, which could cause cracking.

Yes, the top of the fountain is specifically engineered to pool water, creating a shallow basin that acts as a natural birdbath. The gentle bubbling sound also helps attract local wildlife to the area.

The fountain operates on standard household electricity. It comes with a 20-foot power cord, giving you plenty of flexibility to reach an outdoor GFCI-protected outlet.
