Create a bold landscape focal point with the Blue Thumb Closed Top Fountain Kit - FNT40453. Measuring 27 inches wide by 33 inches high, this ceramic vase fountain features a rounded, full-bodied silhouette with horizontal ribbing and a glossy, hand-glazed character. Vivid cobalt-blue tones cover the upper portion, while the lower body transitions into a deep earthy brown for a rich, artistic contrast.

This complete outdoor vase fountain kit combines the decorative vase with a concealed reservoir, an efficient pump, pre-plumbed components, water-level support, water treatment, and decorative polished pebbles.

Key Features

• Distinctive ceramic design: A rounded, ribbed profile and layered blue-and-brown glaze give the fountain strong visual presence.
• Substantial landscape scale: The vase measures 27" W x 33" H.
• Recirculating water system: An 800 GPH mag-drive pump moves water through the fountain and back into the concealed reservoir.
• Installation-ready plumbing: The pre-plumbed vase, flow-control valve, kink-free tubing, and quick disconnects help simplify assembly.
• Finished presentation: Five bags of your selected polished pebbles complete the area above the basin.

Why Choose This Fountain?

FNT40453 offers the scale and color needed to anchor an outdoor setting without requiring a multi-vase arrangement. The ribbed surface adds texture as water moves across the closed top, while the contrasting glaze complements greenery, natural stone, and other landscape materials. Major operating components are packaged with the vase, reducing the need to select a basin, pump, plumbing, and decorative pebbles separately.

The automatic water-fill valve can help maintain the reservoir level when properly installed, although routine water-level checks are still recommended. The included treatment kit supports regular fountain care; additional fountain water treatments are available for ongoing maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the kit?

The kit includes the 27" W x 33" H ceramic vase, 48-inch Achelous basin reservoir, 800 GPH mag-drive pump, pre-plumbed fitting and standpipe assembly, flow-control valve, kink-free tubing, quick disconnects, 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.

Is this a recirculating fountain?

Yes. The pump moves water from the concealed basin through the vase, and the water returns to the reservoir for continued recirculation.

How difficult is installation?

The coordinated components, pre-plumbed vase, kink-free tubing, and quick disconnects are designed to simplify installation. Actual installation time and site preparation will vary by location.

Will I still need to check the water level?

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

What kind of sound does it produce?

The closed-top design creates a gentle bubbling water sound. Perceived volume will vary with the selected flow setting, installation, and surrounding environment.

What should I do during winter?

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