Blue Thumb Kanji Fountain Kit

Installation requires digging a hole to accommodate the 36-inch basin, so it is a moderate project. You will need to level the basin, connect the plumbing, and place the 550-pound granite cube, which will likely require two people or equipment to move safely.

The fountain is designed for a controlled, sheet-like flow down the sides, which minimizes splashing. However, because it is an outdoor feature, wind can occasionally carry some mist away from the basin, so it is best placed in a relatively sheltered area.

The included mag-drive pump is designed for quiet, continuous operation. You will primarily hear the sound of the water cascading over the granite, which is generally considered soothing rather than disruptive.

Yes, the granite is weather-resistant, but you must winterize the system. You should drain the basin, remove the pump, and store it indoors to prevent freezing damage to the plumbing and internal components.

No, this specific kit does not include integrated lighting. If you want to illuminate the fountain at night, you would need to purchase and install separate submersible or landscape lighting.

Maintenance depends on your environment, but you should generally check the pump intake for debris monthly and clean the granite surfaces as needed to prevent algae or mineral buildup. Using a water treatment product can help keep the water clear and reduce the frequency of deep cleanings.
