Blue Thumb 76" Splash Apron for Reservoir/Basin
Eliminate Water Loss from Your Fountain Installation
The Blue Thumb 76" Splash Apron is an essential component for pondless fountain and reservoir basin systems, designed to capture and redirect water that would otherwise be lost to the surrounding landscape. This professional-grade splash guard extends beyond your basin perimeter, ensuring every drop returns to your reservoir for efficient, worry-free operation.
Custom-Fit Design
Delivered as a full 76" square uncut sheet, this splash apron gives you complete control over the final configuration. Custom-cut the material to fit around your specific fountain features, accommodate multiple water outlets, or trim to match your basin size—ideal for both standard and custom installations.
Professional Water Management
Wind, splashing, and water movement naturally cause water to escape beyond your basin edge. The splash apron creates an extended capture zone that channels this water back into your reservoir, reducing refill frequency by 50-80% and protecting surrounding landscaping from oversaturation.
