Cast Iron Sugar Kettle Water Fountain - Blue Thumb

A Sugar Kettle Water Fountain Masterpiece

The Sugar Kettle Water Fountain by Blue Thumb is a beautifully hand-molded cast iron bowl that's an authentic replica of those used in the processing of sugarcane. Water fills the bowl and cascades over all sides into the subsurface basin for recirculation, creating beautiful focal points of sight and sound from all directions.

Enjoy the uniquely modern + rustic charm and craftsmanship of this cast iron sugar kettle fountain, weighing between 26 pounds and 122 pounds depending on the size.
Complete Kit Includes: Sugar Kettle with attached bulkhead and water diffuser, Kettle Support Ring, subsurface basin, Splash Apron (photo in gallery), high-efficiency pump, auto-fill/float device, anti-splash mat, coupler, shims, intake & discharge assemblies, tubing. Basins: Round 51.5" diameter for S/M/L Kettles, and 52.5" Square for XL Kettle. 

Powder Coat Finish

Every square inch of the cast iron is powder coated for longevity and rust protection. See comparison photo in the gallery.

Relax to the Sounds of Falling Water

Thanks to the seamless lip design, water spills freely over the sides in 360°. The moderate ambient sounds of the Sugar Kettle Fountain promote a calming environment and may help mask certain unwanted noise.

Available in 4 sizes to complement any landscape design and space. Your Sugar Kettle Fountain will fit perfectly into locations that include:

➤ Garden, Pathway, Lawn, Flower or Rock Bed, Natural Courtyard, Corporate Landscape.

Learn More: Leveraging the Splash Apron

Photo in gallery. The splash apron acts as a "funnel" to help prevent water loss when it splashes outside of the fountain's designated area. This, in turn, reduces the frequency of refilling the water basin. The splash apron can be installed after the fountain is setup and is most commonly used with the XL size.

Tips from the Engineer team:

• Make sure the ground is sloped back towards the basin so the splash apron can direct water back into it.
• Ensure the apron overlaps the side of the basin and allows water to return properly.
