Why Choose This Fountain?

FNT40457 combines the individual character of a hand-glazed ceramic vase with the practical components needed to create a finished outdoor water feature. The included 48-inch Achelous basin reservoir stores the recirculating water beneath the decorative surface, while the pump and flow-control valve let you refine the water presentation.

The automatic water-fill valve can help maintain the operating water level when properly installed, although regular water-level checks are still recommended. The included fountain water treatment supports routine care, and the polished pebbles provide a clean transition between the fountain and the surrounding landscape.

Lighting is not included with this closed-top vase fountain. Closed-top models do not use a standpipe LED light. Optional exterior fountain lighting is available separately to illuminate the fountain from the outside.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the kit?

The kit includes the 17" W x 36" H closed-top ceramic vase fountain, 48-inch Achelous basin reservoir, 800 GPH mag-drive pump, necessary plumbing, flow-control valve, automatic water-fill valve, fountain water-treatment kit, and 5 bags of 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?

Blue Thumb fountain kits are designed to simplify installation by supplying the major matched components. Installation still requires suitable site preparation, secure and level placement, reservoir positioning, pump and plumbing connections, and final flow adjustment. Consider professional installation if you are unfamiliar with this type of landscape project.

Does the fountain need plumbing?

The fountain recirculates water between the vase and reservoir using the included pump, and the necessary fountain plumbing is supplied. The automatic water-fill valve may be connected to an appropriate water supply to help maintain the water level.

How often should the water level be checked?

Check the reservoir regularly because evaporation, wind, and splash can affect the water level. The automatic water-fill valve can reduce manual refilling when properly installed, but it does not eliminate the need for routine inspection.

How loud is the fountain?

The closed-top design produces a gentle bubbling and flowing-water sound. Perceived volume can vary with the flow setting, placement, and surrounding surfaces, so adjust the included flow-control valve to suit the setting.

What maintenance is required?

Remove debris, inspect the pump and intake, monitor the water level, and use the included treatment according to its directions. In freezing climates, winterize the fountain, drain exposed components, remove or protect the pump, and follow Blue Thumb or manufacturer care instructions.

With its ribbed profile, layered aquatic color, and complete recirculating system, FNT40457 offers an expressive centerpiece for outdoor spaces ranging from intimate courtyards to prominent landscape entryways.
