Product Description
The ATLANTIC WATERGARDENS 73859 is a 12-inch spillway constructed from 316 stainless steel, designed to deliver a clean, sheet-flow water effect in decorative water features and pond installations. The 316-grade alloy provides superior resistance to corrosion and pitting compared to standard 304 stainless, making it a reliable choice for continuous water contact environments. This spillway mounts to a basin, tank, or retaining wall and feeds water over a precisely formed weir lip, creating a uniform curtain effect. Landscape contractors, pond installers, and water feature technicians are the typical trade installers for this type of component.
The 73859 is suited for residential and light commercial water feature applications, including pondless waterfall systems, decorative basins, retaining wall water walls, and koi pond overflows. The 12-inch weir width makes it appropriate for mid-scale installations where a visible, even sheet of water is the design goal. It is compatible with standard basin reservoirs and can be plumbed to a submersible or external pump feeding water to the spillway inlet.
Key Features
- 316 stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance in constant-water-contact applications
- 12-inch weir width delivers a uniform, sheet-flow water curtain
- Suitable for both residential and light commercial decorative water features
- Compatible with standard basin reservoir and pump setups
- Weighs 6 pounds for straightforward handling and wall mounting
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style component for use in decorative water feature systems including pondless waterfalls, water walls, and pond overflow applications where a stainless steel spillway of 12-inch weir width is specified.
Installation Notes
Installation is typically performed by a landscape contractor or water feature technician. Shut off and disconnect the circulation pump before making any plumbing connections to the spillway inlet. Ensure the mounting surface is level so water flows evenly across the full 12-inch weir width. Follow local plumbing and outdoor electrical codes when routing pump wiring and supply lines.
