What is a Glaze Fountain?

DiamondCore’s Glaze Fountain is a self-powered fountain that speeds up the process of applying glaze. Messy cup-swirling is a thing of the past. 

You can now coat your ceramics without touching the glaze. With the Glaze Fountain, you simply press the foot pedal to control a controlled fountain of glaze. 

Excess glaze will flow back into your glaze bucket. Once you’re done glazing your bisqueware, a quick cleaning will make it ready to use for another ceramic project. 

If you’re creating multiple ceramic pieces or need a different glaze as you create, you can use the glaze fountain in multiple glaze buckets.

Benefits of Using a Glazing Fountain

There’s no doubt that a Glaze Fountain can elevate the way you create by improving speed and efficiency. Plus, it’s easy and convenient to use in a home pottery studio or professional space. 

• Provides even, consistent glaze coating

• Less hassle and mess than hand-dipping or hand-pouring glaze inside bisqueware

• The foot-powered fountain requires no electricity or cords around liquids

• It is compatible with existing 2-gallon, 5-gallon, and 10-gallon glaze buckets for projects of all sizes

• Excess glaze quickly runs back into the bucket so there’s no waste

• Cycle out the glaze and rinse the device to use with multiple glazes

• Portable and easy to use in a variety of spaces — including studios, classrooms, and personal workspaces

How to Use a Glaze Fountain

Our team has put together step-by-step instructions to show how easily you can incorporate our fountain glazer into your pottery-making process.

Step 1: Prepare the Bucket & Glaze

• Place the foot pedal on a flat surface and the fountain pump in a bucket with your favorite glaze

• Stir up the glaze sediment from the bottom of the bucket so the pump’s suction cups can attach firmly

Step 2: Attach Suction Cups

• Attach the suction cups to the bottom of the bucket. They should provide a firm hold

• Test to make sure they’re secure by pushing down on the foot pedal

Step 3: Glaze Your Pottery

• Place your pottery over the pipe opening and press down on the pedal to coat it with the glaze. 

• For a taller glaze stream, screw on the nozzle attachment

• For large, wide pieces, use our cone attachment

• For outer surfaces, use our wand attachment

Step 4: Finish Up

• Turn the red valve to close and unscrew the hose from the pipe

• Turn the red valve back on and lift the tube to drain any glaze left in the hose

Step 5: Clean the Fountain

• Unscrew the cone from the pipe and wipe down or rinse off the excess glaze

• Wipe any excess glaze off the pipe

• Lift the pump from the bottom of the bucket by gently rocking it back and forth to unstick the suction cups

• Remove the plug at the base of the pump. Tip the pump toward the opening and use the foot pedal to empty any remaining glaze from the fountain

• Place the pump into a bucket of clean water

• Use the foot pedal to rinse the inside of the pump by cycling water through

• 5 to 10 water cycles should adequately rinse the inside of the pump

• Remove the pump from the water and dry off the outside of the pump and pipe

• Remove the plug to release any trapped water, and use the foot pedal to expel any excess water

• Put the plug back into the base of the pump

The Glaze Fountain is now ready to go until the next time you need it. Take some time to tidy up your pottery studio or creative space as well.
