Aquascape AquaBlox Water Matrix for Pondless Waterfalls, Wetland Systems,& Rainwater Harvesting

AquaBlox

Manufactured using recycled materials, the AquaBlox™ Water Matrix® is a lightweight structural component developed through years of research and development.

• AquaBlox™ acts as a reservoir, possessing over 3 times more water storage capacity than gravel, and is designed to replace 90% of the gravel traditionally used in the reservoir of Pondless® Waterfall applications. 
• AquaBlox™ holds up to 7 gallons of water per cubic foot as opposed to gravel, which only holds 2.2 gallons of water per cubic foot in the spaces between the gravel.  Since use of the AquaBlox™ results in smaller reservoirs, less labor is needed for excavation and moving of gravel.
• Unaffected by molds, algae, soil-bourne chemicals, and bacteria
• Made from 85% recycled plastic
• AquaBlox™ can also be used to replace the lower layer of 4 to 6-inch boulders in the bottom of Snorkel™ Vault and Centipede™ Module wetland filter applications, resulting in better water distribution throughout the wetland and more organic loading capacity. 
• Easier to clean and less prone to clogging than traditional basins
• Smaller Reservoirs! The ability to hold more water per cubic foot allows for smaller reservoirs.
• Less labor excavating the basin, as well as less labor moving the many tons of gravel for basin.
• The use of less liner and geotextile underlayment which save costs.
• Eight separate pieces.  Ships flat but can be quickly constructed in less than 2 minutes with no tools necessary (I prefer to use a rubber mallet though).  Includes a Top, Bottom, (2) Sides, (2) Ends, & (2) Center Supports.  All pieces just snap together with no hardware needed!

AquaBlox™ comes in two sizes, Small and Large.

• Small = 26½"L x 16"W x 9½"H       Holds 17 gallons     Weight = 11 lbs
• Large = 26½"L x 16"W x 17½"H    Holds 32 gallons     Weight = 16 lbs
• Both units can support 4,800 lbs/2.4 tons (when installed correctly)

The Benefits of using the small water matrix instead of 4” - 6” boulders in the lower portion of a wetlands filter

Improved water distribution and reduced water velocity through the wetland filter provides more effective and efficient filtration.

Reduced water velocity improves the settling of sediment from the incoming water throughout the lower portion of the wetland. The AquaBlox™ Water Matrix also provides over 3 times more sediment storage capacity than traditionally used 4-6 inch boulders - which equals longer time between cleanings for easier yearly maintenance.

Back flushing and cleaning more effective at removing sediment loads.

Less Labor moving and interstacking the tonnage of required 4-6 inch boulders traditionally used on the bottom of the wetland filter.

Use the AquaBlox™ Water Matrix to eliminate all the extra excavating, liner and underlayment!
