Blue Thumb Basalt Bird Bath Fountain

The fountain weighs 350 lbs due to its authentic basalt stone construction. Because of this significant weight, you will definitely need assistance or professional equipment to position it safely in your garden.

Yes, the 800 GPH Mag-Drive pump included with the kit features an adjustable flow control. This allows you to dial in the water movement to your preferred intensity and sound level.

This is a recirculating system. The pump moves the water from the basin up through the stone, where it flows back down into the reservoir, so you do not need to connect it to a permanent water line.

The top of the fountain features a polished bowl design specifically crafted for bird safety. While the exact depth varies slightly due to the natural stone, it is engineered to be shallow enough for birds to bathe comfortably without being overwhelmed.

While basalt is a durable, weather-resistant material, you should drain the basin and disconnect the pump before freezing temperatures arrive. If water freezes inside the pump or the stone crevices, it can cause cracking or damage to the internal components.

Maintenance is straightforward: keep the basin free of debris like leaves and twigs to prevent pump clogs. You may also want to use a fountain cleaner or algaecide occasionally to keep the water clear and the stone looking pristine.
