Pondless Water Feature
The Pond-less Concept
Pond-less water features exchange the open water of the pond for a gravel-topped excavation, maximizing visual impact while minimizing headaches and maintenance. Typically, a pump is placed in a protective vault inside a lined reservoir that continuously recirculates water over a stream or waterfall.
A bed of gravel hides the basin, vault and plumbing from view, leaving only the stream and waterfall visible in full splendor. Pond-less features provide all the visual interest without the care and upkeep of a pond ecosystem; there is no open water to collect debris or to worry about, and pondless features and be turned on and off at will, unlike ponds.
No wonder they've become so popular!
The AquaBlox
AquaBlox is a load-bearing "water matrix" blocks used to support the underground reservoir of Pond-less basins.
Each AquaBlox holds a lot of water in a small space, but that's only one-third the story. A reservoir constructed of AquaBlox supports tons of distributed load and holds three times more water than one back-filled with gravel, so you can dig one-third the hole, move one-third the soil, and forget about the cost and effort of all that gravel!

The Pump Vault
The Pump Vault provides an ideal location for the pump in pond-free water features, down in the hidden reservoir beneath the gravel. Slots in the sides of the Vault keep water recirculating while keeping gravel and debris out.
The pump vault houses and protects the pump, allowing cleaning and maintenance without having to move a lot of gravel or stone

Pro Fast Falls
The FastFalls is a great way to simplify waterfall installation. Both the liner and the plumbing from the pump attach securely to the back of the FastFalls, so you'll never have to worry about leakage due to settling or shifting.
Multiple internal baffles ensure smooth, even water flow, eliminating the dreaded 'hose-under-a-rock' effect while providing the FastFalls with crush-proof strength, so it's safe to bury under heavy rock work.
FastFalls makes natural-looking falls a snap to build!
It should be noted that this is not a biological filter.
