Closed Top Fountain Kit - FNT40458

Create a colorful outdoor focal point with the Blue Thumb Closed Top Fountain Kit - FNT40458. The tall ceramic vase combines a gently tapered silhouette with bold horizontal ribbing and a glossy, hand-glazed appearance. Deep cobalt-blue tones cover the lower body, transitioning through a pale blue-green accent band to a warm terracotta-orange upper section. At 17" wide and 36" high, this distinctive closed-top vase fountain brings strong color, texture, and gentle water movement to gardens, courtyards, entryways, and outdoor living areas.

This complete outdoor vase fountain kit pairs the decorative ceramic vase with the major components needed to build a recirculating water feature. Water is stored in the concealed Achelous basin, circulated by an 800 GPH mag-drive pump, and returned through the vase to create a centered bubbling presentation at the closed top. The included plumbing and flow-control valve help simplify setup and allow the water presentation to be adjusted after installation.

Why Choose This Fountain?

Blue Thumb prepares its high-fired ceramic fountain vases as coordinated water-feature systems. The vase is inspected, drilled, and pre-plumbed to make connecting the pump and circulation components more manageable. The included fountain basin and water reservoir stores the recirculating water beneath the decorative pebble surface, keeping the operating equipment largely out of sight.

The pump carries a five-year warranty, while the flow-control valve provides flexibility for refining the bubbling water display. The automatic water-fill valve can help replenish water lost through evaporation and splash when it is properly connected, although regular water-level checks are still recommended. The included fountain water treatment also supports routine care and water clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the kit?

The kit includes the 17" W x 36" H ceramic vase, 48-inch Achelous basin reservoir, 800 GPH mag-drive pump, plumbing and flow control, tubing and quick disconnects, automatic water-fill valve, fountain water-treatment kit, and five 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 prepared with coordinated plumbing and quick-connect components to make installation more manageable. Installation time and difficulty depend on site preparation, access, and experience. Professional installation may be helpful when preparing the basin area or connecting the automatic water-fill valve.

Does the fountain need plumbing?

The fountain uses a recirculating system, and the necessary circulation plumbing is included. The automatic water-fill valve requires an appropriate water-supply connection if it will be used to help maintain the reservoir level.

Where can this fountain be installed?

This ceramic vase fountain is suited to outdoor gardens, courtyards, entryways, and landscaped outdoor living areas. Choose a stable, properly prepared location with sufficient room for the 48-inch-diameter basin and access to an appropriate outdoor power source.

What maintenance is required?

Check the water level regularly, keep the pump and basin free of debris, inspect the plumbing connections, and use the included treatment according to its directions. Even with the automatic water-fill valve, periodic inspection is recommended because evaporation and splash vary by weather and fountain settings.

What should be done during winter?

In freezing climates, winterize the fountain before sustained cold weather. Drain water from exposed components, remove or protect the pump, and follow Blue Thumb or manufacturer care instructions for seasonal protection.
