Waterfall Wells, Pump Vaults & Water Containment
Vanishing waterfalls continue to grow in popularity as an alternative to traditional ponds and water gardens. Enjoy the relaxing sights and sounds of a crashing waterfall or meandering stream without the upkeep and maintenance needed to keep thousands of gllons of pond water clean and healthy. Water flows from the waterfall, down a stream and 'vanishes' through a bed of stones into an underground water containment basin.

|
Rocks or Blocks?
A Better Solution For Containment Basin Systems
|
|
The basin of a vanishing waterfall must be designed to hold 3 times the amount of "water in transit".
Water in transit is the the amount of water in the waterfall and stream at any given time. For example,
a 24" wide waterfall flowing into a 3' wide stream, 15' long, with an average depth of 2" has a total
of 56 gallons of water in transit at any given time.A properly sized basin will hold 3 times that amount
or 168 gallons of water.
|
|
Do The Math
|
|
A 1 cubic foot conatiner holds 7.48 gallons of water. The basin for the example water feature requires
22.5 cubic feet of water storing capacity to function properly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Block Method
|
|
The Rock Method
|
|
Basin Size = 30 Cubic Feet
|
|
Basin Size = 75 Cubic Feet
|
|
The preferred method for constructing vanishing
waterfall basins is to use Matrix Blocks to create the
underground voids needed to hold water. The Matrix
Block has asturdy, load-bearing design capable of
supporting any rocks or structure built on or over the
basin. They store 6.5 gallons of water per cubic foot.
|
|
The old method for constructing vanishing waterfall
basins involves digging a hole... and then filling it
back up with rocks! The method relies on the air
voids around the rocks to hold water. This creates
a very inefficient water basin. A rocked basin holds
2.2 - 2.4 gallons of water per cubic foot.

Matrix Blocks used to construct a large basin
|
|
|
|
Add it all up!
Using Matrix Blocks to a build your water containment basin requires a smaller basin. And a smaller basin means
less liner and underlayment, less time and expense digging and, in many cases, a lower finished project cost.
