Introduction
Thank you for purchasing your Atlantic Pond-free equipment. You have chosen the finest
products available for the creation of long-running, low maintenance water features.
Atlantic Pond-free features exchange the open water of the pond for a gravel-topped
excavation, maximizing visual impact while minimizing headaches and maintenance.
Typically, a pump placed in a protective vault inside a lined reservoir 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.
Eco-Blox Reservoirs
Upon start-up, the pump draws water from the reservoir to fill the streambed, from top to
bottom, until the water overflows back into the reservoir to complete the cycle. We call the
amount of water needed to complete this cycle the 'transitional' water volume. If the reservoir
is too small, or the streambed built improperly, the water level in the reservoir can drop below
the top of the pump before cycling, leading to pump overheating and damage. We can
calculate the transitional water volume, then design the reservoir to hold at least three times
as much, so the water level in the reservoir never drops by more than one-third when the
pump is turned on, keeping the pump safely submerged at all times. Assuming that it will
take about 3" or 0.25 ft. of water to fill the stream and get the system recirculating, we can
calculate the transitional volume, minimum reservoir volume and Eco-Blox quantity by using
the formulas below:
Stream Depth(.25ft) x Avg. Length( ft) x Avg. Width( ft) = Transitional Volume
Minimum Reservoir Volume ÷ 4.2 = Number of Eco-Blox to fill Reservoir
1" deep = 0.08'
2" deep = 0.16'

Transitional Volume x 3 = Minimum Reservoir Volume
WATER DEPTH CONVERSIONS
3" deep = 0.25'
4" deep = 0.33'
5" deep = 0.42'
6" deep = 0.50'
