The Sugar Kettle Water Fountain from Blue Thumb Fountains 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 stunning beauty in 360°.
Relax to the Sounds of Falling Water

Questions & Answers
Have a Question?
-
Does this kettle have pre-drilled holes for the pump wiring?
Thanks for the question! Yes, the kettle is pre-drilled to accomodate the tubing and pump cord. Feel free to reference page 4 of the installation manual for some visuals, and give us a call if we can talk through anything else.
-
What is the 'splash apron'?
Thank you for the question! 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.
Official Description: the 8-foot sq. apron will help to prevent water loss from your fountain by extending beyond the perimeter of your basin, capturing and returning water that would otherwise end up in the surrounding landscape. You can custom cut and tailor the apron to fit around your fountain(s) and trim any additional that is not needed.
