For Larger Basin Volumes

For installations where a larger basin volume or a deeper basin is required, Atlantic offers

Pump Vault Extensions for both the PV1800 and PV2300. Each additional layer of Eco-Blox

increases the depth of your excavation by 17.5"; use one Extension for each additional layer.

Plumbing the PV1800/PV2300

Atlantic's Pro Series Pump Vaults do not

come pre-drilled for the pump outlet.

Not having a pre-drilled pump outlet

gives the professional installer the

flexibility to choose which side of the

enclosure to exit and with what size

pipe. Drill points and cut lines have

been provided for 2" and 3" flex PVC.

Two panels at the top have been left

flat for custom plumbing applications

as well as the installation of an AF1000

Auto Fill and/or overflow. Recessed

areas and cut lines for 4" and 6" SDR35

have been provided on two bottom

panels. Pipe extensions can be added

to increase the flow of water into the

vault and also increase the ability to

channel debris into the vault.

SP1600/SP1900/SP2600/SP3800 FastFalls Installation

Setting the Fastfalls

Place the FastFalls on a level bed of undisturbed soil if possible, to avoid settling. If

installing above existing grade, compact the area thoroughly. This critical step will ensure

that the FastFalls will not settle out of level over time. Blocks or bricks set on virgin soil can

also be used to raise the FastFalls while reducing the chance of settling.

Place the FastFalls right at the basin's edge to create a single dramatic fall, or pull the

FastFalls back from the edge to create a stream. Leave plenty of liner around the

FastFalls to make it easy to camouflage with rock later.

To ensure a leak-proof installation, test place the FastFalls in the desired location and level it

from side-to-side and front-to-back. The closed design of the FastFalls ensures that

water will only exit the unit over the spillway, so there is no need to tilt the FastFalls forward.

Once excavation is complete, install

underlayment, pond liner, properly oriented

Eco-Blox and Pump Vault. Backfill the space

between the Eco-Blox/ Pump Vault 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.
