Before you order
A hidden reservoir holds the water that circulates through a fountain or Pondless waterfall. Its useful capacity must allow for water in the stream and pipework as well as an operating reserve, so choosing it by surface footprint alone can leave the pump short of water.
- Include water held outside the reservoir while the feature runs.
- Allow pump access without dismantling the feature.
- Confirm the supported load and installation detail before adding heavy rocks.
AquaBasin or AquaBlox?
AquaBasin is a ready-formed fountain reservoir. AquaBlox modules create storage within a separately lined excavation and are useful for larger or bespoke designs. The modules do not make the excavation watertight.
Is the largest stated volume all usable?
No. Keep a reserve over the pump intake and account for drawdown, splash and evaporation. Size the operating system rather than treating nominal storage as the available running volume.

A ready-made hidden reservoir
AquaBasin is a moulded, high-density polyethylene reservoir for a recirculating decorative fountain. Unlike an AquaBlox excavation, the basin itself stores the water; its upper deck supports a suitable feature and can be finished with decorative gravel.
The broad deck helps with positioning the fountain, and its plumbing cylinders allow the water feed and lighting routes to be planned neatly. A corner access panel makes it possible to reach the pump without taking the entire fountain apart. Keep that access clear when placing the finishing stones.
Support, splash and ongoing access
Prepare a firm, level base and follow the installation instructions for bedding and backfilling. The fountain’s load must be correctly supported: do not assume that any heavy boulder is suitable simply because it fits on the deck.
Size the complete feature, including the water held in its pipework and fountain while running. Allow for splash, wind and evaporation as well as the minimum water level above the pump intake. The nominal storage figure is not all available as working drawdown.
Test the feature before completing the landscaping. Check the water returns to the collection area, adjust the flow as needed and confirm that the pump can be removed through the access opening. During use, top up as required, clear debris and follow the fountain and pump winter-care instructions.
