Closed Top Fountain Kit - FNT40438

Closed-Top Ceramic Vase Fountain Kit

Create a distinctive outdoor water feature with the Blue Thumb Closed Top Fountain Kit - FNT40438. Measuring 21" W x 36" H, this single-vase fountain has a tall, gently tapered silhouette with raised vertical detailing that adds texture and handcrafted character. Deep cobalt-blue lower tones transition through soft cream drips into a warm amber-brown upper glaze, giving the fountain a bold artistic presence for gardens, entryways, courtyards, and other outdoor landscapes.

The closed top produces an attractive bubbling flow while the included pump, reservoir, plumbing, and flow-control equipment work together as a recirculating system. Five bags of your selected polished pebbles provide a finished decorative surface above the concealed basin. With the major operating components supplied together, this outdoor vase fountain kit offers a convenient way to add moving water and a calming atmosphere to a residential or commercial landscape.

Why Choose This Fountain?

FNT40438 combines the visual impact of a substantial ceramic vase with the practical components needed to build a professional-looking landscape fountain. The 48-inch Achelous basin reservoir stores the recirculating water below the decorative pebbles, while the 800 GPH pump supplies the fountain’s flow. Pre-plumbed connections, kink-free tubing, and quick disconnects help simplify assembly at a properly prepared outdoor site.

The vase’s rich color contrast, textured vertical pattern, and rounded profile make it a natural focal point among plantings, near an entryway, or within a courtyard. Each hand-glazed ceramic vase has individual character, adding an artistic quality that works especially well in landscapes that need height, color, and the soothing movement of water.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the kit?

The kit includes the ceramic vase, 48-inch Achelous basin reservoir, 800 GPH mag-drive pump, necessary plumbing and flow-control valve, automatic water-fill valve, fountain water-treatment kit, and 5 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 kit is designed to simplify installation by supplying the major fountain components and connection hardware. Installation time and difficulty depend on site preparation, basin placement, access to power and water, and local conditions. Professional installation may be helpful for complex sites.

Does the fountain need plumbing?

The pump recirculates water from the included basin through the fountain using the supplied tubing and fittings. The automatic water-fill valve must be connected to an appropriate water source if you want it to help replenish the reservoir.

Will I still need to check the water level?

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

What routine maintenance is required?

Periodically check the pump, water level, tubing, flow, basin area, and pebble surface. Remove debris as needed and use the included treatment products according to their directions. Additional fountain water treatments are available for ongoing care.

What should I do during freezing weather?

Winterize the fountain in cold climates. Drain water from exposed components, remove or protect the pump, and follow Blue Thumb or manufacturer care instructions for seasonal protection.
