Know before you buy
The kit is designed for a 1/2-inch connection, which can be attached to a standard garden hose or a dedicated water line. It provides flexibility depending on your fountain's proximity to a water source.
It is specifically designed for use with Blue Thumb fountain basins and AquaBox® basins. While it may fit other systems with a 1/2-inch inlet, we recommend verifying your basin's specific connection requirements first.
No, the kit includes a built-in pressure regulator that caps the intake at 30 PSI. This safety feature prevents excess pressure from causing leaks or damaging the internal components.
No, this autofill kit is not designed to be submerged. It should be installed in a location where it can monitor the water level without being fully underwater.
By automatically topping off the basin as water evaporates, it prevents your pump from running dry. This ensures consistent water flow and protects your pump motor from premature failure.
