What You Receive
- One 76" square, uncut Splash Apron for Reservoir/Basin
- A customizable collection surface for water landing beyond the basin grate
AquaBox® splash-management accessory
The Blue Thumb Splash Apron extends the water-collection area around an Achelous or Altum AquaBox® basin. It arrives uncut so it can be tailored around the fountain layout, helping direct captured overspray back toward the concealed reservoir instead of the surrounding landscape.
Know before you buy
Important: Confirm the fountain position, plumbing route and pump-access location before cutting. A splash apron can reduce avoidable overspray loss, but it does not eliminate evaporation, wind-driven loss or the need to monitor the reservoir water level.
Plan the apron together with the basin footprint, fountain splash pattern and finished grade. Review the product page for your reservoir before installation.
Installation overview
When using the apron, Blue Thumb's AquaBox® guide calls for setting the basin approximately 1½ inches below grade.
Slope the surrounding terrain toward the basin, then carefully trim the uncut apron around the confirmed fountain layout.
Run the fountain and observe water return before adding decorative stone and completing the surrounding landscape.

No. The apron helps capture overspray. Evaporation, wind, fountain flow and site grade still affect water loss, so check the reservoir water level regularly.
