Know before you buy
No, the CFMA12 is specifically engineered as a direct replacement for the Atlantic CFBASIN12 Formal Spillway basin. It is sized precisely for that unit's dimensions and may not provide a proper fit or effective filtration in other systems.
Replacement frequency depends on your water feature's biological load and debris levels. We recommend inspecting the mat periodically and replacing it once it begins to lose its structural integrity or can no longer be cleaned effectively.
Yes, the Matala material is durable and can be rinsed out to remove trapped debris. However, over time, the fibers will eventually degrade, necessitating a full replacement to maintain optimal water clarity.
No tools are required. The mat is lightweight and designed to drop directly into the CFBASIN12, making the replacement process quick and straightforward.
While the CFMA12 is designed to sit inside the basin system, it is not a submersible device itself. It functions as a mechanical filter pad within the spillway basin to trap debris before water recirculates.
