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 171/ 2 "; use one Extension for each additional layer.
Plumbing the PV1800/PV2300
Atlantic's 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.

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. Gather the liner
and underlayment on top of the Eco-Blox as
if wrapping a gift. Backfill the space between
the Eco-Blox and the excavation to lock them
into place, using sand or clean fill in 6" layers,
backfilling evenly all the way around to avoid
pushing the Eco-Blox out of alignment. Top
the liner and basin with ¾" or larger gravel or
decorative stone.
