Atlantic Water Gardens Basin Kit

This kit is designed for both options. You can bury it for a traditional in-ground look or install it above grade if you prefer to build a raised surround or masonry wall around it.

While it is specifically engineered to integrate seamlessly with Atlantic formal spillways, it can work with other brands as long as the spillway width is compatible with the 24-inch basin dimensions and the flow rate requirements match the included pump.

The splash mat is a critical component that sits on top of the basin. It helps return water that splashes outside the basin back into the reservoir, significantly reducing water loss and the need for frequent refills.

Yes, the automatic fill valve needs to be connected to a standard garden hose or a dedicated water supply line. This ensures the basin maintains a consistent water level without you needing to manually top it off.

It is designed for straightforward installation. Because the kit includes the basin, pump, plumbing, and fittings, you avoid the hassle of sourcing individual parts, making it a manageable project for a confident DIYer.

Maintenance frequency depends on your local environment and how much debris falls into the water. The double filtration system helps keep the water cleaner for longer, but you should inspect the pump intake and clear any buildup every few weeks to ensure optimal flow.
