Blue Thumb Raw Cut Granite Stone Columns Fountain Kit

This kit is designed for a straightforward weekend installation. While it requires some digging for the underground basin and basic assembly of the plumbing, it is manageable for most homeowners with standard tools and a bit of patience.

Granite is exceptionally durable and weather-resistant, so the columns themselves require very little care. You will primarily need to keep the basin free of debris, occasionally top off the water level due to evaporation, and clean the pump intake to ensure consistent water flow.

Yes, the kit includes a flow control valve that allows you to easily adjust the water pressure. This lets you customize the sound and visual effect, from a gentle trickle to a more robust cascade.

If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, it is highly recommended to drain the basin and remove the pump for the winter. This prevents ice expansion from potentially damaging the plumbing or the pump housing.

The basin needs to be set on a level, stable surface. You will need to excavate a hole deep enough to accommodate the 16-inch height of the basin, ensuring the ground underneath is compacted and level to prevent the fountain from shifting or tilting over time.

The included 1,495 GPH magnetic-drive pump is quite robust for this size feature. It provides ample water volume to create the soothing, audible sound of cascading water that is ideal for masking ambient noise in a garden or patio setting.
