How the Disappearing Fountain Works
The LA2200K creates a disappearing fountain: water bubbles gently from the top of the GFRC rock, flows down its textured surface, and disappears into a bed of decorative pebbles at the base — reappearing to repeat the cycle. The water is stored in the buried Large Hex Fountain Basin (82 gallons, set in-ground below the pebble bed). The 530 GPH Mag-Drive pump recirculates water from the basin up through the integrated plumbing channel inside the rock and back to the surface.
The ball valve in the plumbing allows precise control of the water flow rate — from a strong gurgling spring effect to a quiet, subtle trickle. The quick disconnect fittings on the Kink-Free tubing allow the pump to be removed from the basin for maintenance or winter storage without disassembling the plumbing system.
About GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete)
Blue Thumb's GFRC fountains are handcrafted in-house at their facility using moulds taken from actual stone boulders. Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete uses glass fibers embedded in a portland cement matrix to create a material that captures the exact surface texture, natural color variations, and visual character of real stone — while weighing hundreds of pounds less than the equivalent natural boulder. The LA2200K rock weighs approximately 40 lbs vs. the hundreds of pounds a comparable natural rock would weigh. GFRC is highly resistant to freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and outdoor weathering, making it suitable for year-round outdoor installation in most climates.

What are the benefits of GFRC vs. natural stone for this fountain?
The Mini Mountain Spring rock is crafted from GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete), which offers the authentic texture and color of natural stone at a fraction of the weight. Blue Thumb takes the mould directly from an actual stone boulder, so the GFRC replicates the exact surface detail of real stone. The LA2200K rock weighs approximately 40 lbs vs. the hundreds of pounds a comparable natural boulder would weigh — making installation feasible without heavy equipment.
GFRC is highly durable in freeze-thaw cycles, UV-resistant, and pre-drilled with an integrated plumbing channel, ensuring consistent water flow through the rock without field drilling. Available in Dapple Gray or Chestnut finish to complement different landscape styles.
Can this fountain be installed as a disappearing water feature?
Yes — the LA2200K is specifically designed as a disappearing fountain. The Large Hex Fountain Basin (40"×46"×14"H, 82 gallons) is installed in-ground and completely concealed beneath the basin grate and decorative pebbles. Water bubbles up from the rock, flows down its surface, and disappears into the pebble bed — where it drains back into the hidden basin and is recirculated by the pump.
Note: The decorative pebbles shown covering the basin in product and installation photos are not included in the kit. One bag of polished pebbles is recommended — available as an optional add-on in Black (#PPBK40) or Mixed Color (#PPMX40).
How much space is required for the installation of the LA2200K?
The installed footprint is determined primarily by the Large Hex Fountain Basin, which measures 40" × 46". Allow this footprint for the in-ground excavation. The GFRC fountain rock (22"L × 20"W × 15"H) sits centered on the basin above the pebble bed. Total installed height with pebbles at grade and the rock above: approximately 15 inches above ground level.
Plan for easy access to the basin lid for pump maintenance and water level monitoring. The quick-disconnect plumbing allows the pump to be removed through the basin access opening without digging up the installation.
How energy-efficient is the included Mag-Drive pump?
The 530 GPH Mag-Drive pump uses magnetic induction drive technology with a single moving part — the impeller — eliminating the shaft seals and oil that traditional pumps require. Mag-drive pumps are quieter, require less maintenance, and are generally more energy-efficient than equivalent-flow direct-drive pumps. The pump is designed for 24/7 continuous duty at very low operating cost — typically just a few cents per day. The 20-foot power cord allows flexible placement within the basin.
How do I winterize the Blue Thumb Mini Mountain Spring fountain?
In freezing climates:
- Drain the water from the Large Hex Fountain Basin and from the internal plumbing channel of the GFRC rock.
- Disconnect the pump using the quick-disconnect fittings and remove the 530 GPH Mag-Drive pump from the basin. Store the pump submerged in a bucket of water in a frost-free location (garage, basement) to keep the seals moist.
- The GFRC rock can remain outdoors year-round — GFRC is durable in freeze-thaw cycles and does not require indoor storage.
- The Large Hex Fountain Basin can remain in-ground. Ensure it is drained to prevent frost damage from water expanding inside the basin.
