Blue Thumb Caldera Fountain Kit

At 50 pounds, the fountain is substantial enough to remain stable in most residential garden settings. Because it is designed for in-ground installation, the basin and surrounding landscape will further anchor the unit securely.

Yes, this is a complete kit. It includes the stone boulder, the basin, the grate, the screen, and the magnetic-drive pump, along with the necessary plumbing to get the water flowing.

The installation is straightforward because the GFRC material is significantly lighter than natural stone, making it easier to position. Since it is an in-ground fountain, you will need to dig a hole for the basin, but the plumbing connections are simple and intuitive.

While the material is weather-resistant, we recommend draining the basin and storing the pump indoors during freezing temperatures. This prevents ice expansion from damaging the pump or the plumbing components.

With a 12-gallon capacity, evaporation will occur depending on your local climate, sun exposure, and wind conditions. You should check the water level weekly and top it off as needed to ensure the pump remains fully submerged.

The included magnetic-drive pump is designed for quiet operation. You will primarily hear the soothing sound of the water cascading over the stone, rather than the mechanical hum of the motor.
