The Tuscany Fountain Kit FNT3860 brings a warm, artistic focal point to gardens, courtyards, entryways, and other outdoor living spaces. Its tall, gently tapered ceramic vase features rounded shoulders and a wide rolled rim, creating a substantial silhouette without looking overly formal. Warm cream and sandy tan tones are accented by subtle blue-gray vertical flecking, natural glaze variation, and a contrasting earthy brown rim for a rustic, handcrafted character.
Water bubbles from the center opening, flows across the top, and travels down the glazed surface before returning to the concealed reservoir below. The complete recirculating system provides the visual movement and calming sound of flowing water without requiring an open pond.

The 36-inch Achelous fountain basin remains hidden beneath the decorative pebbles, allowing the vase to stand as the primary visual feature. The included 800 GPH pump is part of Blue Thumb’s selection of dependable recirculating fountain pumps and carries a five-year warranty.
Blue Thumb carefully prepares its ceramic fountain vases for continuous water use. Each vase is inspected, drilled, and fitted with the components needed to simplify installation. The standpipe assembly, flow-control valve, kink-free tubing, and quick-disconnect system help create a professional fountain installation without requiring the customer to assemble an open pond.
The included LED provides built-in nighttime illumination, while additional outdoor fountain lighting can be considered when coordinating the fountain with surrounding landscape features. Routine use of appropriate fountain water treatments can also help support cleaner-looking water and reduce unwanted buildup.
The kit includes the ceramic vase, Achelous basin, 800 GPH pump, LED standpipe light, plumbing, flow-control valve, automatic fill valve, water treatment, and four bags of polished pebbles.
Installation time depends on site preparation and experience. Blue Thumb notes that smaller fountains may be installed in a few hours, while larger or more complex fountain projects can take longer.
The fountain recirculates water from the concealed basin and includes the necessary fountain plumbing. The automatic fill valve must be properly connected to a compatible water supply to maintain the water level automatically.
Yes. The automatic fill valve can help replace water lost through evaporation or splash when properly installed, but periodic water-level and system checks are still recommended.
Yes. An LED light is installed on the standpipe to illuminate the bubbling plume of water.
It produces a gentle bubbling and flowing-water sound. The perceived sound can vary with the selected flow setting, surrounding surfaces, and water level.
In freezing climates, winterize the fountain, drain exposed components, and remove or protect the pump according to Blue Thumb and product-care instructions.
Regularly check the water level, remove debris, inspect the pump and plumbing, clean the vase and basin as needed, and use the included water-treatment products according to their directions.
With its tall tapered form, warm neutral glaze, contrasting rolled rim, concealed reservoir, integrated lighting, and complete installation components, the Tuscany FNT3860 offers a polished way to introduce moving water into a residential or commercial landscape.
