Blue Thumb Basalt Fountain Kit

Not at all. The kit is designed for straightforward assembly and includes all necessary plumbing components, tubing, and a pump. Because the stone is core-drilled and features a flat, saw-cut bottom, you simply need to level the basin, connect the pump, and position the stone.

Basalt is an incredibly durable, dense volcanic rock that stands up well to the elements. You will primarily need to keep the basin free of debris and occasionally top off the water level to account for natural evaporation, especially during hot summer months.

We recommend winterizing the fountain in colder climates where freezing temperatures occur. You should disconnect the pump, drain the basin, and store the pump indoors to prevent damage from ice expansion.

Yes, it is a complete, all-inclusive system. The kit comes with the basalt column, a supportive basin, a high-performance pump, all required plumbing, and 200 lbs of decorative pebbles to conceal the basin and tubing.

The sound level depends on the flow rate of the pump, which is adjustable between 1495 and 1980 GPH. At higher settings, you will get a robust, energetic splash, while lower settings provide a softer, more subtle trickle.

The polished top and side are designed to maintain their luster and contrast against the rustic, natural exterior. While natural stone can develop a slight patina over many years, the polished finish is durable and will retain its visual impact with basic cleaning.
