Altum-Achelous AquaBox® Sediment Screen

Altum-Achelous AquaBox® Sediment Screen

Help keep debris out of your fountain basin with the Altum-Achelous AquaBox® Sediment Screen. This durable plastic mesh screen creates an additional barrier between the decorative stone above the basin and the water reservoir below.

Leaves, mulch, dirt, small stones, and other outdoor debris can gradually work their way through the basin grate and collect inside the reservoir. Adding a sediment screen helps reduce this buildup, keeping your water feature cleaner and making routine maintenance easier.

Who Is This Sediment Screen For?

• New Altum and Achelous basins: A sediment screen is already included as a standard feature and does not need to be purchased separately.
• Existing Altum or Achelous basins: Add a sediment screen to enhance debris protection and help keep the basin cleaner.
• Replacement applications: Replace a current sediment screen that has become damaged or worn over time.

• Easy to cut and customize for different basin configurations

Benefits of a Sediment Screen

• Helps prevent leaves, mulch, dirt, and small debris from entering the basin
• Reduces sediment buildup inside the water reservoir
• Helps keep the recirculating water cleaner
• Reduces debris accumulation around the pump and plumbing
• Makes seasonal cleaning and routine maintenance easier

Easy to Cut and Customize

The 52-inch by 52-inch plastic screen can be easily trimmed with scissors or a utility knife to accommodate the size and layout of your basin. Openings can be cut as needed for fountain plumbing, access panels, support columns, and other basin components.

Position the sediment screen over the basin support surface before installing the decorative stone. Make sure the screen lies relatively flat and does not prevent access to the pump or other serviceable components.

Please check whether your basin already includes a sediment screen before ordering. All new Altum and Achelous AquaBox® basins now include a sediment screen as a standard feature.
