What customers say
Customers consistently praise the superior quality of this aluminum upgrade, noting it transforms the Altum AquaBox system. The primary benefit is reliability; users feel confident the grate will not bend, crack, or fail under heavy landscaping materials, a common issue with the original component.

This robust design ensures years of trouble free operation.
Know before you buy
No, this grate is specifically engineered to fit the dimensions and structural requirements of the Altum AquaBox. It is not designed for universal use with other pond basins.
The aluminum construction is reinforced to handle significantly higher static and point loads. This makes it the ideal choice for heavy installations like triple vase sets or basalt columns that would exceed the capacity of standard plastic grates.
The package includes two aluminum grates of different sizes and a dedicated pump access cover. Please note that this is an accessory upgrade, so you will need to have the existing Altum AquaBox basin already installed.
Aluminum is naturally resistant to corrosion, making it an excellent, durable choice for water features. It will maintain its structural integrity over time without the risk of rusting like traditional steel.
The kit includes a convenient pump access cover. This allows you to reach your pump for routine cleaning or adjustments without needing to disassemble the heavy decorative elements sitting on the main grates.
