Atlantic Splash Mats are essential accessories for recirculating water features that prevent water loss from splashing and evaporation. These durable mats sit on top of your basin, allowing water to pass through while catching splashes and directing them back into the reservoir—critical for small systems with limited water volume.

Key Features:

  • Eliminates water loss from splashing
  • Reduces evaporation, prolonging time between refills
  • Allows water to pass through while catching splashes
  • Durable, weather-resistant material
  • Easy to cut and customize for perfect fit
  • Multiple sizes to match Atlantic Basin Kits

Why Splash Control Matters:

  • Small recirculating systems have limited water volume
  • Splashing can quickly deplete water levels, causing pumps to run dry
  • Evaporation compounds water loss, especially in hot weather
  • Splash Mats keep water in the system where it belongs
  • Reduces refill frequency and maintenance
  • Protects pumps from damage due to low water levels

Four Options Available:

12" Splash Mat

  • Dimensions: 17" × 17"
  • Fits perfectly on: CFBASIN12 (12" Basin Kit basin)
  • Best for: 12" spillways and small wall fountains

24" Splash Mat

  • Dimensions: 41" × 19"
  • Fits perfectly on: CFBASIN24 (24" Basin Kit basin)
  • Best for: 24" spillways and medium wall fountains

36" Splash Mat

  • Dimensions: 53" × 21"
  • Fits perfectly on: CFBASIN36 (36" Basin Kit basin)
  • Best for: 36" spillways and large wall fountains

Splash Mat Roll (Custom Applications)

  • Dimensions: 240" L × 28" W (20 feet long)
  • Perfect for: Custom installations, irregular shapes, or multiple features
  • Cut to size: Trim to fit any basin or application

How to Choose:

  • If you have an Atlantic Basin Kit, match the Splash Mat size to your basin (12", 24", or 36")
  • For custom basins or irregular shapes, choose the Splash Mat Roll and cut to size
  • For multiple water features, the roll provides material for several installations

Installation:

  1. Place Splash Mat on top of basin, covering the water surface
  2. Cut opening for pump discharge pipe if needed
  3. Trim edges for perfect fit around basin perimeter
  4. Water passes through mat while splashes are caught and returned to basin
  5. Cover with decorative rock or gravel if desired

Perfect For:

  • Atlantic Formal Spillway installations
  • Colorfall LED spillway systems
  • WaterWall applications
  • Pondless waterfall features
  • Fountain basins and reservoirs
  • Any recirculating water feature with limited water volume

What's Included:

  • 1 Atlantic Splash Mat in selected size

Note: Splash Mats are included in Atlantic Basin Kits but can be purchased separately for replacements or custom installations. Choose the size that matches your basin, or select the roll for custom applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need a Splash Mat if I already have an Atlantic Basin Kit?
A: Atlantic Basin Kits already include a Splash Mat sized for that basin, so you don't need to purchase one separately for a new installation. However, you might want to buy an additional Splash Mat as a replacement if your current one is worn or damaged, or if you're expanding your system. Splash Mats can degrade over time from UV exposure and should be replaced every few years for optimal performance. If you're building a custom system without a Basin Kit, you'll definitely need to purchase a Splash Mat separately.

Q: Can I use the Splash Mat Roll for a standard 12", 24", or 36" basin?
A: Yes, absolutely! The Splash Mat Roll (240" × 28") can be cut to fit any basin size. However, if you have a standard Atlantic basin (CFBASIN12, CFBASIN24, or CFBASIN36), it's more economical to buy the pre-sized Splash Mat that matches your basin—they're already cut to the perfect dimensions. The roll is best for custom basins, irregular shapes, very large installations, or when you need material for multiple water features. One roll can provide Splash Mats for several small to medium installations.

Q: How does the Splash Mat reduce evaporation if water can still pass through it?
A: The Splash Mat reduces evaporation by covering the water surface and reducing air exposure. While water can pass through the mat (which is necessary for the system to function), the mat creates a barrier that limits direct air contact with the water surface. This significantly reduces evaporation compared to an open basin. Additionally, when you cover the Splash Mat with decorative rock or gravel, you create even more protection from sun and wind, further reducing evaporation. The primary function is catching splashes, but the evaporation reduction is a valuable secondary benefit—especially important in hot, dry climates.
