Blue Thumb Sediment Screen For Altum or Achelous AquaBox Basins

No, this screen is specifically engineered to fit Blue Thumb Altum and Achelous AquaBox basins. It may not provide a secure fit or proper protection if used with other basin models.

By acting as a physical barrier, the screen traps leaves, silt, and other debris before they reach your pump. This prevents clogs and reduces the frequency at which you need to pull the pump out for manual cleaning.

The screen is designed to allow for maximum water intake while filtering out solid debris. However, it is important to periodically clear any buildup from the surface of the screen to ensure your pump continues to operate at its full rated capacity.

No, the screen is designed for a straightforward, tool-free installation. It is meant to sit securely within your existing Altum or Achelous AquaBox basin setup.

Cleaning frequency depends on your specific environment, such as the amount of surrounding foliage or wind-blown debris. We recommend checking it monthly during the peak season and clearing away any accumulated material to maintain optimal water flow.
