Closed Top Fountain Kit - FNT3638

Create a distinctive outdoor focal point with the Blue Thumb Closed Top Fountain Kit - FNT3638. Measuring 18.5 inches wide by 36 inches high, this tall ceramic vase features a sculptural cylindrical silhouette, horizontal wave-like ribbing, and a glossy olive-green glaze with natural tonal variation. Water bubbles from the closed top and flows across the textured exterior, adding movement and a gentle water sound to gardens, courtyards, entryways, and landscaped commercial spaces.

This complete outdoor vase fountain kit pairs the decorative ceramic vase with the major components needed for a finished recirculating water feature. The concealed reservoir stores the water below the decorative surface, while the included pump returns it through the fountain.

Why Choose This Fountain?

The FNT3638 combines distinctive ceramic character with coordinated fountain equipment, reducing the need to select the major system components separately. The 36-inch Achelous basin reservoir stores recirculating water below the pebble-covered surface, while the 660 GPH fountain pump supplies the water flow. Quick-disconnect fittings and kink-free tubing help simplify the connection between the pump and vase.

Blue Thumb fountain vases are high-fired and individually glazed, so subtle variations in color and texture contribute to their handcrafted character. The polished pebbles provide a clean decorative finish over the reservoir, and the automatic water-fill valve can help maintain the operating water level when properly installed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the kit?

The kit includes the 18.5" W x 36" H ceramic vase, 36-inch Achelous basin reservoir, 660 GPH pump, necessary plumbing and flow control, kink-free tubing with quick disconnects, automatic water-fill valve, fountain water-treatment kit, and four 40 lb. 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.

How difficult is installation?

The pre-plumbed vase, included pump, kink-free tubing, quick-disconnect fittings, and flow-control valve are designed to simplify installation. Actual installation time and site preparation will vary by location.

Does the fountain need plumbing?

The necessary plumbing for circulating water between the vase and reservoir is included. Using the automatic water-fill valve requires an appropriate connection to a water supply and installation according to the provided instructions.

Will water still need to be checked?

Yes. The automatic water-fill valve can help maintain the water level when properly installed, but regular checks are recommended because evaporation, splash, and site conditions can affect water levels.

What routine maintenance is required?

Check the water level, remove debris, inspect the pump, and clean exposed surfaces as needed. The included treatment kit supports routine care, and additional fountain water treatments are available.

What should be done during winter?

In freezing climates, winterize the fountain, drain water from exposed components, remove or protect the pump, and follow Blue Thumb or manufacturer care instructions before freezing weather arrives.
