Atlantic 24" Complete Basin Kit – Disappearing Fountain Reservoir for Bubbling Rock, Urn & Patio Water Features

The Atlantic CFBASINKIT24 24" Complete Basin Kit (SKU 05811) is a professional formal spillway basin system that provides everything needed to install any Atlantic 24" spillway — including Colorfalls, Stainless Steel Scuppers, WaterWalls, and WaterSpouts. The kit centers on the CFBASIN24 reservoir: a one-piece 44"W × 22"D × 16"H rectangular basin with integrated filtered pump chamber and built-in plumbing channels, holding 33 gallons with a Lifetime Warranty. The kit includes the TT3000 TidalWave3™ Asynchronous Pump (3,000 GPH, 173W, 20' cord, 3-year warranty), Matala splash mat, single union adjustment valve, AF1000 AutoFill valve, PVC pipe, PVC spray glue, thread sealant, and all fittings — everything in one box. Important — Basin Size: The "24" in the product name refers to the compatible spillway width (24"), not any basin dimension. The CFBASIN24 reservoir is 44" wide × 22" deep × 16" tall (rectangular). Plan excavation and installation space accordingly — at least 44"W × 22"D × 16"H below grade. 44"W × 22"D × 16"H Basin | 33 Gallons | Lifetime Warranty TT3000 TidalWave3 | 3,000 GPH | 173W | 3-Yr Warranty AF1000 AutoFill | Matala Splash Mat | PVC Glue + Sealant Included All 24" Formal Spillways: Colorfalls, Scuppers, WaterWalls, WaterSpouts SKU: 05811 | CFBASINKIT24 | Atlantic item 73850 | Previously: CFBASINKIT24 What's Included (Complete Kit) CFBASIN24 Reservoir Dimensions: 44"W × 22"D × 16"H (rectangular; one-piece construction) Capacity: 33 gallons Integrated filtered pump chamber (built in; no separate vault needed) Built-in plumbing channels for ease of installation Seamless installation with 4" garden block Can be installed above or below ground Lifetime Warranty TT3000 TidalWave3 Pump Max flow: 3,000 GPH 173W asynchronous motor — more flow per watt than traditional designs Max head height: 19.5 feet Power cord: 20 feet Inlet: 1½" MIPT | Outlet: 1½" MIPT/FIPT Step fitting included: 1"–1½" Dimensions: 8"L × 5¼"W × 6¼"H Clog-resistant; hard water tolerant 3-Year Limited Warranty Plumbing & Hardware Flexible PVC pipe (length/diameter: verify with Atlantic) Single union flow/adjustment valve AF1000 AutoFill valve — automatic water level management PVC spray glue + thread sealant All necessary fittings Accessories & Documentation Matala splash mat — reduces splash, pre-filters debris entering pump chamber Instruction manual Spillway (Colorfalls, Scupper, WaterWall, WaterSpout) not included — sold separately Technical Specifications Specification Detail SKU / Model 05811 | CFBASINKIT24 | Atlantic item 73850 Basin Dimensions 44"W × 22"D × 16"H (rectangular) Basin Capacity 33 gallons Basin Construction One-piece; integrated filtered pump chamber; built-in plumbing channels; above or below ground Basin Warranty Lifetime Pump TT3000 TidalWave3™ Asynchronous — 3,000 GPH — 173W — 115V Pump Details 1.5A | 19.5′ max head | 20′ cord | 1½" MIPT inlet / 1½" FIPT outlet | 8"×5¼"×6¼" | Clog-resistant | Hard water tolerant Pump Warranty 3-Year Limited AutoFill AF1000 AutoFill valve — automatic water level management; no manual refilling Splash Mat Matala splash mat (pre-filters debris; reduces splash loss; keeps pump submerged) Included Hardware Flexible PVC pipe | Single union adjustment valve | PVC spray glue | Thread sealant | All fittings Spillway Compatibility All Atlantic 24" formal spillways: Classic & Color Changing Colorfalls | Stainless Steel & Copper Scuppers | WaterWalls | WaterSpouts Garden Block Designed for seamless installation with standard 4" garden block Atlantic Basin Kit Family Comparison Feature 12" Kit (CFBASINKIT12) 24" Kit (CFBASINKIT24, this) 36" Kit (CFBASINKIT36) Compatible Spillways All 12" spillways All 24" spillways All 36" spillways Basin Dimensions Verify with Atlantic 44"W × 22"D × 16"H 56"W × 24"D × 16"H Capacity Verify 33 gallons 42 gallons Pump TT1500 or TT2000 TT3000 (3,000 GPH, 173W) TT4000 (4,490 GPH, 230W) Basin Warranty Lifetime Lifetime Lifetime Pump Warranty 3-year 3-year 3-year Frequently Asked Questions What is included in the Atlantic 24" Complete Basin Kit? The CFBASINKIT24 is an all-in-one formal spillway basin system. It includes: CFBASIN24 basin — 44"W × 22"D × 16"H, 33-gallon one-piece reservoir with integrated filtered pump chamber, built-in plumbing channels, and Lifetime Warranty TT3000 TidalWave3 Asynchronous Pump — 3,000 GPH, 173W, 20' cord, 3-year limited warranty Matala splash mat — pre-filters debris and reduces splash loss AF1000 AutoFill valve — automatically maintains water level; no manual top-off needed Flexible PVC pipe (verify diameter with Atlantic before ordering supplemental fittings) Single union flow/adjustment valve PVC spray glue + thread sealant All necessary fittings and hardware Instruction manual The spillway (Colorfalls, Scupper, WaterWall, or WaterSpout) is not included and must be purchased separately. What spillways are compatible with this 24" basin kit? The CFBASINKIT24 is engineered for use with all Atlantic 24" formal spillways, including: Classic Colorfalls and Color Changing Colorfalls (24" wide) Stainless Steel Scuppers (24" wide) Copper Scuppers (24" wide) WaterWalls (24" wide sheet waterfall spillways) WaterSpouts / Wall Spouts (24" compatible) The CFBASIN24 reservoir's 44" wide footprint is designed to capture splash from all 24" spillways without water loss. The basket handles the basin’s 33-gallon water volume and integrates with the TT3000’s 3,000 GPH output to maintain ideal flow for any 24" spillway head. How does the Matala Splash Mat improve the system? The Matala splash mat serves two important functions in the CFBASINKIT24 system: Splash control: It covers the basin opening, containing water returning from the spillway and preventing it from splashing outside the reservoir footprint. This reduces water loss from evaporation and splash and keeps surrounding hardscape dry. Pre-filtration: The open-cell Matala material traps leaves, debris, and particulates before they can enter the pump chamber, keeping the TT3000 TidalWave3 pump running efficiently between cleanings. The splash mat can be covered with decorative stone or gravel (matching the spillway wall installation) for a clean, professional finish that conceals the basin while still allowing water to return freely. Can this basin kit be installed with garden blocks or into a hardscape wall? Yes — Atlantic specifically designed the CFBASIN24 for seamless installation with standard 4" garden block. Its rectangular footprint and rigid walls allow retaining wall block to be built directly against the basin exterior for a fully integrated, built-in formal water feature appearance. The basin can be installed: In-ground (below grade): Excavate a trench of at least 44"W × 22"D × 16"H. Set basin level in compacted soil. Build retaining wall up from ground level on all sides to conceal the basin and support the spillway above. Above ground (raised feature): Build a block retaining wall to the desired height; set the basin into the wall cavity. Useful for raised patio planters or freestanding formal water walls. The built-in plumbing channels within the basin wall route tubing between the pump chamber and the spillway connection point without cutting or drilling. Does the 24" Basin Kit require manual water refilling? No. Every CFBASINKIT24 includes the AF1000 AutoFill valve, which automatically monitors and maintains the water level in the CFBASIN24 reservoir. When water drops below the set level — due to evaporation or splash — the AutoFill opens and introduces fresh water from a connected garden hose supply until the correct level is restored, then closes automatically. The TT3000 pump requires a minimum water level to operate correctly; the AF1000 ensures the pump is always submerged without any manual monitoring. For installation, the AF1000 connects to a standard garden hose fitting at the basin wall. What is the warranty on the basin and pump? The CFBASINKIT24 carries two separate warranties: CFBASIN24 basin: Lifetime Warranty — Atlantic stands behind the one-piece basin construction for the life of the product under normal installation and use conditions. TT3000 TidalWave3 pump: 3-Year Limited Warranty — covers the pump against defects in materials and workmanship for 3 years from the date of purchase. For warranty service, contact Pond Pro Direct at (765) 508-4352 or support@pondprodirect.com. We carry authentic Atlantic Water Gardens products with full manufacturer warranty support. What are the TT3000 TidalWave3 pump's specifications? The included TT3000 TidalWave3 Asynchronous Pump is Atlantic's high-efficiency, compact-design waterfall and feature pump. Full specifications: Max flow rate: 3,000 GPH Motor: 173W asynchronous (more flow per watt than traditional designs) Voltage: 115V | Amperage: 1.5A Max head height: 19.5 feet Power cord: 20 feet Inlet: 1½" MIPT | Outlet: 1½" MIPT/FIPT (step fitting 1"–1½" included) Dimensions: 8"L × 5¼"W × 6¼"H Pre-filter: Ribbed design with large openings; clog-resistant; hard water tolerant Can be operated vertically or horizontally 3-Year Limited Warranty The TidalWave3's asynchronous motor combines the efficiency of magnetic induction with the power of direct-drive geometry — delivering up to 35% energy savings versus previous TidalWave generations at equivalent flow rates. How do I maintain the Atlantic 24" Basin Kit? The CFBASINKIT24 system is designed for minimal ongoing maintenance: Matala splash mat: Lift and rinse periodically to remove accumulated debris. Frequency depends on surrounding landscaping (fall leaves require more frequent cleaning). The Matala material is washable and reusable. TT3000 pump: The ribbed pre-filter cage is designed for clog resistance. For cleaning, remove the pump from the chamber and rinse the pre-filter screen. The pump can be disassembled without tools for impeller access if needed. AutoFill valve: Check the AF1000 inlet screen periodically for mineral buildup in hard water environments. Clean with a mild vinegar solution if flow is restricted. Basin: Flush the 33-gallon reservoir annually to remove silt. The basin drain can be used for complete drainage during deep cleaning or winterization. How does the 24" kit differ from the 36" Basin Kit? Both are part of Atlantic's formal spillway basin family, but sized for different spillway widths and installation scales: CFBASINKIT24 (this kit): For all 24" spillways. Basin: 44"W × 22"D × 16"H, 33-gallon. Pump: TT3000 (3,000 GPH, 173W). Best for single-column or medium formal water features with 24" Colorfalls or Scuppers. CFBASINKIT36 (SKU 00582): For all 36" spillways. Basin: 56"W × 24"D × 16"H, 42-gallon. Pump: TT4000 (4,490 GPH, 230W). Larger basin and more powerful pump for wider spillways, WaterWalls, and more dramatic formal features. Both kits include the AF1000 AutoFill, Matala splash mat, PVC glue, thread sealant, and adjustment valve. The key differences are the basin footprint, reservoir volume, and pump capacity. Choose based on your spillway width. Can the basin be installed above ground or is it in-ground only? The CFBASIN24 is versatile — it can be installed above or below ground. Atlantic's own product description confirms both options are supported by the basin's one-piece construction and rigid walls. Below ground (most common): Dig a trench at least 44"W × 22"D × 16"H. Set the basin on a level, compacted base. Build retaining wall block around it and position the spillway on the wall above. The basin lid sits flush with grade and is covered by the Matala mat and decorative stone. Above ground: Build a block surround to the desired height and set the basin in the cavity. Useful for raised patio planters, elevated formal features, or installations where excavation is not possible. Ensure the block structure fully supports the basin and the weight of the water when filled. In both configurations, the AF1000 AutoFill connects to a nearby water supply and the TT3000 pump connects to the spillway via the included PVC pipe and adjustment valve.
