The Closed Top Fountain Kit - FNT3628 brings a strong architectural look to outdoor spaces with a tall, rectangular ceramic vase measuring 16 inches wide by 36 inches high. Its glossy dark green-black surface, subtle earthy variation, and irregular horizontal ribbing give the fountain a modern, handcrafted character. A compact bubbling plume at the closed top sends water across the surface and down the textured sides, making it a distinctive focal point for gardens, entryways, courtyards, and other landscaped settings.
This fountain combines the ceramic vase with the essential equipment needed to create a recirculating water feature. The 36-inch Achelous basin reservoir stores the water below the decorative stone surface, while the included 660 GPH mag-drive pump sends water back to the fountain. Pre-plumbed fittings, a flow-control valve, kink-free tubing, and quick disconnects help simplify the connection between the vase and pump.
FNT3628 is suited to customers who want a single fountain with a tall, geometric silhouette and a darker, more dramatic finish. The combination of the ceramic vase, basin, pump, plumbing, auto-fill valve, treatments, and polished pebbles creates a coordinated system rather than requiring the main components to be sourced separately. Choose Black Pebbles or Mixed Pebbles to finish the basin area to complement the surrounding landscape.
