Aquascape AquaBasin 30 Fountain and Water Feature Basin for Landscape and Garden | 78223, Black, 27 gallon

Aquascape AquaBasin 30 was prefect for my project to add a small water feature to our entry garden. The basin is sturdy and well designed and built. Instructions were easy to follow and good installation videos were available for review. Installed our fountaion last summer and closed and winterized (emptied and covered) the basin in October. We had a cold winter with several feeeze-thaw cycles. There was some water infiltration over the winter (I plan to seal the cover better this year) but there was no freeze damage to nor heaving of the basin.The fountain itself turned out great and we are happy with the result. We spent many days sitting on the poarch enjoying our babbling fountain.

Great product, worked very well for my fountain project. Some what pricy!

This basin is very durable and easy to use for a water feature basin. This basin holds a lot of water which was a great value for the money spent.

I have had this Aquabasin in use for several months, both last year and this spring. I was very pleased with the ease of set up, its ability to support the weight of an urn fountain and good-sized rocks, and the openings provided for both water return and managing cords. There is also a nice opening in one corner for inserting and maintaining a small pump. The reason I rated it down is that it would be so much better if it had a whole or half-size lid opening for cleaning out any dirt that entered during set up and for viewing and more easily removing the water at the end of the season. I currently am having an algae problem, which appears on the fountain, but I can't see the state of the water in the basin nor easily change it out for fresh water. I am treating the water with an algae remover, but I'd still like to see the state of the water inside the basin. I'm not sure there is a better basin available; but this addition would make it a great basin.

This basin supports my home-made rock fountain and decorative rocks quite well.

To be honest I’m not sure what my fountain weighs particularly when the it is full of water but the basin has become quite concave. This means that the access door doesn’t fit properly. It also made leveling the fountain quite difficult. I followed the installation instructions carefully and the fountain, which has a cylindrical base, is directly over the weight bearing part of the basin.

For years I had our fountain sitting in a very small basin, supported only by bricks. I decided to do an upgrade and I chose the Aquascape 30 Fountain Basin. The installation was easy for any handy person, and it can easily support my heavy ceramic fountain even when it is filled with water and covered with rocks. The large access hole makes installing and maintaining the pump really easy and I also installed the optional automatic water fill valve so I don't have to think about the water level all the time. That also works perfectly. This basin holds about six times as much water as my previous basin, which will help to keep the water looking fresh and clear. I think this is a very well designed, great product.

I bought this to replace an existing basin which I had for nearly 7 years. I searched for a replacement for a while and found this one. I was very happy when I received it and found it to be very sturdy. I have a fountain which weighs well over 100 pounds and the basin's construction handled the weight great. It is reenforced under the cover, has a convenient access port and the cover is designed to keep out leaves and debris. I have had it in the ground and running for a couple of weeks and so far, it has performed better than expected. Now I will see how it handles the temperature swings throughout the seasons.
