Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
For climates with freezing conditions, remove the pump and store it in a bucket of water in a frost-free location. Do not drain the basin completely; keep it at least 50% full to prevent the ground from heaving the basin. Stone columns can typically be left outside.
Yes, Blue Thumb pumps are designed to run 24/7. Alternatively, you may connect the pump to a timer depending on your preference.
Normal evaporation is about 1-2 inches per week, but this varies by weather. Check the water level regularly to ensure the pump remains submerged. Installing an optional Auto Fill Kit can help maintain water levels automatically.
If algae forms on the columns or urns, you can brush it off physically. Blue Thumb recommends using CrystalClear® Algae D-Solv® to clear organic debris and remove odors.
