Pre-Cut Fountain Basin Water Loss Reducer
The Atlantic Water Gardens anti-splash mat for the CFBasin24 is a precision pre-cut open-cell foam mat sized to fit the CFBasin24 fountain basin. Placed floating on the basin water surface, it absorbs and dampens the kinetic energy of returning fountain streams — sphere fountains, wall spouts, and urn displays — preventing water from bouncing out of the basin and reducing evaporative water loss due to surface agitation. This is one of the most practical maintenance accessories for any CFBasin24 installation where ongoing top-ups are a nuisance.
Performance
In testing, anti-splash mats reduce water loss from splash-out by up to 70% compared to uncovered basins. In hot Canadian summers with direct sun on a compact basin, this difference can mean the distinction between daily top-ups and weekly top-ups. The open-cell foam structure does not block water flow or prevent debris from settling — it simply breaks the surface tension of returning water streams.
Installation
Drop the pre-cut mat directly onto the water surface inside the CFBasin24. The mat floats at the surface and adjusts automatically to water level. No cutting, trimming, or fastening required. Replace when the foam becomes compressed and loses its open-cell structure — typically after 2–3 seasons of continuous use.
