LA4000 – 4×4 Fountain Basin
Overview
The 4×4 GFRC Fountain Basin is crafted in Saginaw, Michigan, and built specifically for smaller, lightweight fountains. Blue Thumb’s GFRC basins feature a flat, reinforced top deck, recessed plumbing channels for clean hose routing, and a dedicated manifold pocket to support professional installation.
Note: Always follow your fountain kit’s recommended basin specifications. Heavy point-load fountains, such as stone or large vase fountains, may require an AquaBox® Basin for proper long-term stability.
Why This Basin Stands Out
- Ideal for small fountains — holds 70 gallons and designed for fountains with minimal water motion.
- Durable construction — supports up to 750 lbs of static load.
- Complete setup — includes basin, grate, and screen.
- User-friendly design — flat deck, recessed plumbing channels, and manifold pocket for easy installation.

- Medium GFRC Basin (PB1953): 30" × 34" × 14"H — 41 gal — Hex — For lightweight fountains up to 24" tall.

How It Works
The 4×4 basin acts as a concealed water reservoir that continuously recirculates water through a compatible fountain. Its recessed plumbing channels allow hidden hose routing, and the internal manifold pocket supports multi-outlet fountain setups. A reinforced deck distributes load evenly while the pump-access area ensures straightforward maintenance.
