What's Included in Each Kit:
- Basin (reservoir for water recirculation)
- Splash Mat (prevents splashing and water loss)
- Pump (sized appropriately for spillway width)
- Complete plumbing kit with fittings

- 36" Basin Kit: For 36" wide spillways
How to Choose Your Kit:
- Select your Atlantic Formal Spillway, Colorfall, or WaterWall (sold separately)
- Note the spillway width (12", 24", or 36")
- Order the matching Basin Kit size
- For multiple spillways or wall spouts, see expansion options below
Perfect For:
- Wall-mounted water features with Formal Spillways
- Colorfall LED illuminated spillways
- WaterWall spillway installations
- Freestanding water feature walls
- Garden block or stone veneer wall installations
- Commercial and residential applications
Seamless Garden Block Integration:
Basin Kits are designed to integrate seamlessly with standard 4-inch garden block walls. The spillway mounts directly into the wall, and the basin sits below to catch and recirculate water. This creates a clean, professional appearance with hidden plumbing.
Expanding Your System:
For installations with multiple spillways or wall spouts, you can expand a single Basin Kit by adding:
- Tee fittings to split water flow
- Additional valves for independent flow control
- Manifold system to accommodate multiple water outlets
- Larger pump if needed for increased flow demands
Auto Fill System:
Each kit includes an automatic fill system that maintains proper water level in the basin. This prevents pump damage from running dry and eliminates the need for constant monitoring—especially important during hot weather when evaporation is high.
Note: Atlantic Formal Spillways, Colorfalls, and WaterWalls are sold separately. Choose the spillway width first, then order the matching Basin Kit. This product does not qualify for free shipping due to size and weight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between the 12", 24", and 36" Basin Kits?
A: The three Basin Kit sizes correspond to the width of the spillway you're installing. The 12" kit is designed for 12" wide spillways, the 24" kit for 24" spillways, and the 36" kit for 36" spillways. Each kit includes a basin, pump, and plumbing sized appropriately for that spillway width. The larger kits have bigger basins to handle more water volume and more powerful pumps to create the proper flow rate for wider spillways. Always match your Basin Kit size to your spillway width for optimal performance.
Q: Can I use one Basin Kit to run multiple spillways or wall spouts?
A: Yes, but you'll need to modify the plumbing. A standard Basin Kit is designed for one spillway. For multiple spillways, double or triple wall spout installations, or combinations (like a spillway plus wall spouts), you'll need to create a manifold system using tee fittings and additional valves. This allows you to split the water flow to multiple outlets. Depending on the total flow requirements, you may also need to upgrade to a larger pump. The kit's included pump is sized for a single spillway of the corresponding width.
Q: Do I need any additional components besides the Basin Kit and spillway?
A: For a basic single-spillway installation, the Basin Kit and your chosen spillway are all you need—the kit truly includes everything (basin, pump, plumbing, splash mat, auto fill, valve, even PVC glue). However, you will need to provide the wall structure itself (garden blocks, stone veneer, or other wall material) and a GFCI-protected electrical outlet for the pump. If you're installing multiple spillways or want additional features like lighting, you'll need extra components. For Colorfalls (LED-lit spillways), the lighting is built into the spillway unit itself.
