Know before you buy
The basin includes the standpipe and 40 inches of 3/4-inch tubing. However, you will need to purchase an Ultra 800 water pump separately to power the fountain.
This basin is designed for versatile placement. You can integrate it into an existing landscape or use it as a standalone feature paired with an AquaBasin, which allows for installation on hard surfaces like patios.
GFRC, or Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete, is highly durable and designed for long-term outdoor use. The material holds up well against the elements, though it is recommended to drain the system during freezing winter months to prevent damage.
The basin itself has a height of 6.9 inches. Keep in mind that the total height of your water feature will depend on the base or reservoir you choose to place it on.
The patina finish is designed to blend naturally into garden environments and does not require special maintenance. Over time, the finish may weather slightly, which typically enhances the natural, aged look of the concrete.
