Closed Top Fountain Kit - FNT40500

Deep Brown Closed-Top Ceramic Vase Fountain

Create a striking outdoor focal point with the Blue Thumb FNT40500 Closed Top Fountain Kit. Measuring 32" W x 35" H, this substantial ceramic vase features a broad, rounded shoulder, a softly tapered profile, and a glossy deep-brown glaze with subtle tonal variation. Water bubbles from the closed top and flows across the vase’s smooth surface, bringing gentle movement and soothing sound to gardens, entryways, courtyards, and professionally designed landscapes.

This complete outdoor vase fountain kit combines the ceramic centerpiece with a concealed 48-inch Achelous basin reservoir, an 800 GPH mag-drive pump, plumbing, flow control, automatic water-fill equipment, water treatment, and polished pebbles. The coordinated components make it easier to create a finished water feature without selecting the primary operating parts individually.

How difficult is installation?

The coordinated plumbing, pre-plumbed vase, and quick disconnects help simplify installation. The total time will depend on excavation, site preparation, leveling, and installer experience. Professional installation may be helpful for sites requiring extensive preparation.

Does the fountain need plumbing?

The fountain’s recirculating water system uses the included pump, tubing, and plumbing. The automatic water-fill valve requires an appropriate water-supply connection if it will be used. Follow the supplied installation instructions for proper setup.

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 to account for evaporation, splash, weather, and seasonal conditions.

Where can this fountain be installed?

It is designed for outdoor landscape settings such as gardens, courtyards, and entryways. Select a stable, level location with sufficient room for the 48-inch-diameter basin and access for routine maintenance.

What routine maintenance is required?

Periodically remove debris, inspect the pump and water flow, check the reservoir level, and use fountain treatment as directed. Maintenance frequency will vary with weather, surrounding vegetation, and water conditions.

What should I do during winter?

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