Made from durable round plastic, it is suitable for use with various water displays, including fountains, pebble pools, and ornamental setups. The sump is installed by placing it into a pre-dug hole in the ground, where it houses the pump that powers the water feature. Water flows gracefully from the chosen feature above, collects in the sump below, and is recirculated by the pump to maintain a continuous display. The tub can be covered with a lid or grate so that you top it with decorative elements like fountains, figures, reservoirs or rock and pebble arrangements to create a polished look. Alternatively, it can be used above ground to serve as a small fish pond or a refuge habitat for wildlife, adding a touch of nature to your garden.
