Hidden reservoirs and structural water storage for Aquascape features

Compare Aquascape AquaBasin reservoirs, AquaBlox structural water-storage modules and associated access components for fountains, pondless waterfalls and rainwater projects. Correct reservoir sizing is essential because the basin must hold both the static water and the volume moving through the feature when it is running.

What this Aquascape section covers

This section covers two different approaches: preformed AquaBasin reservoirs for compact decorative features, and modular AquaBlox storage for larger custom reservoirs. It also includes components used to preserve pump access and manage water entering or leaving the underground storage area.

How we would plan it

Calculate the water held in the stream, falls, bowls or pipework, then allow a usable operating margin above that drawdown. The pump must remain submerged throughout operation. Structural modules need suitable excavation, stable sub-base, correctly installed liner and underlay, and stone loads that remain within the manufacturer's installation guidance.

Need a compatibility check? Send us the dimensions, a simple sketch and any Aquascape part numbers you already have. We will help check the system as a whole before you order.

Why buy Aquascape from That Pond Guy?

We are an independent UK pond specialist, not a general catalogue reseller. Aquascape products are supplied to us through Landscape Plus, and our listings retain the original manufacturer part number so that systems and service parts can be checked properly. If a combination looks wrong, we would rather query it before dispatch than leave you to discover the problem during installation.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Aquascape Reservoirs & Water Storage range include?

This section covers two different approaches: preformed AquaBasin reservoirs for compact decorative features, and modular AquaBlox storage for larger custom reservoirs. It also includes components used to preserve pump access and manage water entering or leaving the underground storage area.

What should I check first?

Static reservoir capacity and operating drawdown; Feature weight and reservoir load rating; Pump size and safe service access; Liner, underlay and geotextile protection; Automatic top-up, overflow and winter access.

Are these genuine Aquascape products?

Yes. These are genuine Aquascape products from the current UK contractor range supplied through Landscape Plus.

Why is the Aquascape part number important?

Closely related products and replacement parts can look almost identical. The manufacturer part number is the most reliable way to distinguish sizes, generations and compatible service components.

Can That Pond Guy check compatibility before I order?

Yes. Send us the existing part numbers, photographs, dimensions and a simple sketch of the proposed system. We can help identify obvious mismatches and the practical measurements still needed.

Should I follow the individual installation manual?

Yes. This category guide explains the planning principles, but the current manual for the exact product remains the authority for electrical safety, excavation, connections, sealing, commissioning and maintenance.

Are rocks, pipework, transformers or other connected components always included?

No. Inclusion varies by product and by kit. Read the individual “What is included” section and check the connected categories before assuming another component is supplied.

How should I plan future maintenance?

Keep pumps, filters, valves, baskets, cartridges, transformers and access covers reachable after landscaping. A small amount of service space designed in now can prevent major disruption later.
