Description
AquaBox® Fountain Reservoir Basins are Blue Thumb's premium in-ground basins for pondless fountain installations. Heavy-duty polyethylene construction with a full-perimeter steel reinforcement frame supports decorative fountain features — vases, columns, bowls, urns, basalt slabs — while hiding the pump and water reservoir below grade. Each basin ships with a pre-drilled pump access plate and a removable debris screen. Three sizes: the Achelous 36" round and 48" round for compact-to-mid-scale features, and the Altum 52" square for larger statuary or multi-feature installations.
