Introduction
Thank you for choosing Atlantic's Stainless Steel and/or Copper Finished Water Wall Spillways,
constructed of durable, corrosion resistant 316 stainless steel. Copper Finished Water Wall
Spillways have an additional antique copper plating over the stainless steel for a warm
traditional look.
Atlantic's Water Wall Spillways are designed to mount at the top of the water wall and plumb
to a water supply hidden inside the wall. They greatly facilitate the construction of water walls
by eliminating the perforated pipes, manifolds or open troughs typically needed to evenly
distribute water across the top of the water wall, and the valences required to hide them.
The Water Wall Spillway's attractive copper finish or brushed stainless steel appearance
provides a clean, finished look at the top of the wall, and the modular design allows multiple
24" units to be placed side by side to create water walls of any width.
ATTENTION
316 stainless steel withstands corrosion when immersed in swimming pool water because the
chlorine concentration is typically mild (1 – 5 ppm). However, the areas above the waterline that
get splashed frequently are extremely susceptible to corrosion. As the water that splashes on
the stainless steel evaporates, the chlorine left behind becomes highly concentrated. These
deposits are very corrosive and will discolor, rust, pit, and corrode stainless steel regardless of
grade if not maintained properly. 316 Spillways used in swimming pool installations should be
rinsed regularly with fresh water to remove accumulated chlorine deposits.
Installation
• Atlantic Water Wall Spillways are constructed of 316 Stainless Steel, resistant to corrosion
caused by chlorinated and saltwater pool environments. They are not intended for use in
water gardens or any pond with plant or aquatic life.
• Water Wall Spillways are designed to mount on top of masonry and framed walls, and
plumb directly to a 1½" supply inside the wall. The spacing between the 1½" female fitting of
the Spillway and the overhanging lip that delivers water to the face of the wall leaves room
for 1½" of decorative fascia.
• Spillways have a ¼" bonding lug for grounded pool installations.
