Closed Top Fountain Kit - FNT3633

It's a breeze to add the calming sounds of flowing water to your home or business landscape. The vases featured in the Blue Thumb collection are often naturally rustic but sometimes smooth with rich, vibrant colors. Craftsmen intentionally glaze each piece unevenly, creating subtle variations in color and texture that transform each fountain into a distinctive, original piece of art.

Our vases are high-fired, robust, durable, and made to last, offering you years of enjoyment. You can rely on our fountain kits to come complete with everything you need to make installation easy. Average installation time varies from as little as a few hours for smaller fountains and up to 8 hours for larger or triple fountain kits - making these a great weekend project!

Key Features

• Compact statement piece: The listed ceramic vase measures 16" wide x 23" high, making it suitable for spaces that need visual impact without an oversized fountain.
• Distinctive glazed appearance: A glossy surface with layered olive-brown, blue-green, and teal tones gives the vase an earthy, artistic character.
• Closed-top water display: Water bubbles through the center opening and flows over the rounded exterior in a controlled cascade.
• Recirculating system: The included pump moves water from the concealed reservoir through the vase and back into the basin.
• Complete-kit convenience: The primary components needed to create the finished outdoor water feature are included together.

Peaceful, elegant, and timeless fountains bring auditory and visual beauty together to provide pleasure to everyone. Blue Thumb carries fountains that come in countless sizes, designs, materials, and colors. Our fountains enhance an array of spaces including gardens, entryways, & courtyards.

Why Choose This Fountain?

This outdoor vase fountain kit combines ceramic artistry with the convenience of a coordinated recirculating system. The basin stores water beneath the polished-pebble surface, helping the mechanical components remain visually unobtrusive while the vase stays at the center of the design. The included flow control valve lets you adjust the water presentation, while the automatic water fill valve can help maintain the reservoir level when properly installed.

The fountain’s rounded form and layered glaze work naturally with stone, planting beds, masonry, wood, and other landscape materials. Its moderate height makes it a versatile patio fountain or entryway water feature while still providing the presence expected from a ceramic bubbling vase fountain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the kit?

The kit includes the listed 16" x 36" ceramic vase, 36" Achelous basin, 660 GPH mag-drive pump, necessary plumbing, flow control valve, automatic water fill valve, fountain water treatment kit, and four 40-pound bags of your selected polished pebbles.

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. Visit Blue Thumb’s fountain lighting collection and verify exterior-fixture compatibility before purchasing.

How does the fountain recirculate water?

The pump moves water from the basin through the vase. Water bubbles from the closed top, flows over the exterior, and returns through the polished pebbles to the reservoir below.

Does it need plumbing?

The necessary fountain plumbing and flow control valve are included. The recirculating system does not require a continuous water supply to operate, although the included automatic water fill valve must be properly connected if you choose to use that feature.

How difficult is installation?

The major fountain components are supplied together to simplify installation. Actual installation time and difficulty depend on site preparation, access, ground conditions, and experience. The basin should be properly supported and level.

How often should the water level be checked?

The automatic water fill valve can help maintain the water level when properly installed, but regular checks are still recommended because evaporation, wind, splash, and weather conditions can affect the reservoir.

What maintenance is required?

Check the water level and flow regularly, keep the pump area clear of debris, and use the included treatment products as directed. Additional fountain water treatments are available for ongoing care. In freezing climates, winterize the fountain, drain exposed components, remove or protect the pump, and follow Blue Thumb care instructions.
