The capacity of the basin will vary depending on the size, height and number of the
decorative fountain elements. For a general rule of thumb, make the basin at least twice
the width of the fountain piece or fountain pieces at their widest point. To capture the
splash from taller pieces or more aggressive flows, where added storage capacity isn't
desired or needed, excavate a shallow 2-3" deep
bowl around the basin and extend the liner out
to at least twice the height of the decorative
elements (Figure C). This technique will
recapture as much water as possible with
minimum additional excavation. Consider
increasing the storage capacity by
incorporating Rainwater Harvesting into
your design. For further information see our
website www.atlanticwatergardens.com.
Once you have determined the
approximate size of the basin, lay
out the Eco-Blox and PV1700.
The PV1700 should be placed
away from the fountain piece
where the lid can be accessed
easily. Place the flat panel of the
PV1700 up against the Eco-Blox
so water can enter through the
ports. Tailor the excavation to the
shape of the Eco-Blox and PV1700 so the vertical walls of the basin will support the
outside walls of the Eco-Blox, leaving a few extra inches all of the way around to make
installation easier.
Dig the entire basin down to 17" below grade and carefully level the bottom of the
excavation. This depth ensures the plumbing fittings exit out on top of the Eco-Blox. Install
the underlayment and liner, then the Eco-Blox and PV1700.
Backfill the space between the Eco-Blox and the excavation to lock them into place, either
outside the liner with sand or clean fill, or inside the liner with gravel ¾" or larger in
diameter. Top the liner and basin with ¾" or larger gravel or decorative stone. Smaller,
more decorative gravel, landscape glass, etc. can be used to cover the top of the basin,
provided a denser mesh is installed beneath the material.
PLUMBING THE PV1700 FOR A FOUNTAIN
The recessed panels on the front right and left are designed to accommodate up to two
optional Triton 3-Way Diverters, to allow plumbing and individual valving of up to six
separately controlled decorative elements. To install, drill a 2 ¼" hole with a hole saw (not
included). The center point of the hole is marked on the panel.
The center raised area on the front of the PV1700 can be drilled for a single discharge
of up to 1 ½" PVC pipe. Your pipe size will determine the size of the hole to drill. The flat
panel on the back is designed to accommodate an overflow. The two drill points near the
top of the left and right sides are for the installation of an Auto Fill (See Auto Fill and
Overflow instructions on pg. 16).
