Closed Top Vase Fountain Kit - FNT3424

Closed-Top Ceramic Vase Fountain for a Striking Outdoor Focal Point

Create a memorable garden, patio, courtyard, or entryway water feature with the Blue Thumb FNT3424 Closed Top Fountain Kit. Measuring 16 inches wide by 38 inches high, this tall ceramic vase combines a graceful tapered body, rounded shoulders, and a narrow flared neck with a glossy blue-to-aqua glaze. Subtle vertical color variation gives the fountain a handcrafted character that works beautifully in naturalistic and contemporary landscapes.

Water bubbles from the closed top and flows over the vase’s smooth exterior, adding movement and a calming water sound to the surrounding space. The hidden 36-inch Achelous basin stores the recirculating water below grade, while the included 660 GPH mag-drive pump keeps it moving through the fountain. Select black or mixed polished pebbles to conceal the basin and create a clean, finished installation.

Key Features

• Tall, space-conscious design: The 16-inch-wide footprint provides an impressive 38-inch height without requiring an oversized installation area.
• Distinctive ceramic character: Glossy aqua and blue tones, subtle glaze variation, and an elegant tapered silhouette make the vase an artistic landscape accent.
• Complete water-feature system: The kit brings together the vase, underground reservoir, fountain pump, plumbing, auto-fill equipment, water treatment, and polished pebbles.
• Concealed reservoir: The included fountain basin keeps the working water supply hidden beneath the decorative stone.
• Adjustable water flow: The included flow-control valve lets the fountain’s flow be refined after installation.
• Built for convenient connection: Pre-plumbed components, kink-free tubing, and quick disconnects simplify assembly.
• Pump protection: The included submersible pump is backed by a five-year warranty.

Why Choose This Fountain?

The FNT3424 offers the visual presence of a tall landscape fountain in a practical single-vase format. Its rich blue-green color brings contrast to stone, foliage, masonry, and neutral hardscaping, while the flowing water softens patios, garden beds, walkways, and welcoming entry spaces. Because the major operating components are supplied together, there is less guesswork than assembling a decorative fountain system piece by piece.

Blue Thumb prepares the vase with the fittings needed to connect it to the pump and reservoir. Once installed, routine care is straightforward: check the water level and pump, remove debris, and use the included treatment as directed. Additional fountain water treatments are available for ongoing care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the kit?

The kit includes the 16" W x 38" H ceramic vase, 36-inch Achelous basin reservoir, 660 GPH mag-drive pump, necessary plumbing and flow-control equipment, automatic water-fill valve, fountain water-treatment kit, and 4 bags of your selected polished pebbles weighing 40 lb. each.

Is lighting included?

No. Lighting is not included with this closed-top vase fountain, and it does not use a standpipe LED light. Optional exterior fountain lighting is available separately to illuminate the fountain from the outside.

How difficult is installation?

The coordinated components and pre-plumbed vase help simplify installation, making this a suitable weekend landscape project for many experienced DIY customers. The site must still be prepared for the basin, connections, and finished pebble surface.

Does the fountain need plumbing?

The circulation plumbing, flow-control valve, tubing, and quick disconnects are included. The automatic water-fill valve can help maintain the water level when properly connected to a compatible water supply.

Will I still need to check the water level?

Yes. The automatic fill valve can reduce manual refilling, but regular water-level checks are still recommended because evaporation, splash, and site conditions can affect water use.

How loud is the fountain?

The closed-top design produces a gentle bubbling and flowing-water sound. Perceived volume will vary with the adjusted flow rate, installation, and surrounding surfaces.

What routine maintenance is required?

Check the pump and water level regularly, remove leaves and debris, inspect the flow, and use fountain treatment according to its directions. Periodic care helps preserve water clarity and dependable operation.

What should I do during winter?

In cold climates, winterize the fountain before freezing weather. Drain exposed components, remove or protect the pump, and follow Blue Thumb or manufacturer care instructions for seasonal storage and protection.
