Installation Instructions
It is recommended to lay out the position of the Pondless
®
Waterfall Vault and AquaBlox
®
prior to excavation in order to determine actual excavation
dimensions. Please note an additional 6” of excavation is recommended per side of the basin to allow for: AquaBlox
®
dimensions, sufficient backfill
material and compaction required during backfilling. See the diagrams below for examples of Pondless
®
Waterfall storage basin configurations. Larger
storage basins can be constructed by increasing the quantity of Small AquaBlox
®
and/or using the optional Pondless
®
Waterfall Vault Extension in
combination with the Large AquaBlox
®
. Liner and geotextile dimensions will vary according to the quantity and size of AquaBlox
®
used.
The optional Pondless
®
Waterfall Vault Extension (Item #49001) slides onto the top of the Pondless
®
Waterfall Vault increasing the height for
deeper basins using the Large AquaBlox
®
. The Extension slides on from the front of the unit towards the back.
Note: Check for presence of high water table in the excavation, which must be kept at levels a minimum of 3 feet below the bottom of the AquaBlox
®
structure at all times.
