Aquascape’s Water Matrix is designed to replace 90% of the gravel traditionally used in the reservoir of Pondless® Waterfalls applications. The AquaBlox™ Water Matrix can also be used to replace the lower layer of 4-6 inch boulders in the bottom of Snorkel™ Vault and Centipede™ Module Wetland filter applications.

• Over 3 times more water storage capacity than gravel – The Water Matrix can hold 7.4 gallons of water per cubic foot. Gravel can hold approximately 2.2 gallons of water per cubic foot.
• Extra water storage capacity results in less routine maintenance topping reservoir to compensate for evaporation.
• Easier to clean and less prone to clogging than traditional gravel basins
• Smaller Reservoirs! The ability to hold more water per cubic foot allows for smaller reservoirs.
• Less labor excavating the basin, as well as less labor moving the many tons of gravel for basin.
• The use of less liner and geotextile underlayment.

The Benefits of using the small water matrix instead of 4” - 6” boulders in the lower portion of the wetland filter

Improved water distribution and reduced water velocity through the wetland filter provides more effective and efficient filtration.

Reduced water velocity improves the settling of sediment from the incoming water throughout the lower portion of the wetland. The AquaBlox™ Water Matrix also provides over 3 times more sediment storage capacity than traditionally used 4-6 inch boulders - which equals longer time between cleanings for easier yearly maintenance.

Back flushing and cleaning more effective at removing sediment loads.

Less Labor moving and interstacking the tonnage of required 4-6 inch boulders traditionally used on the bottom of the wetland filter.

Use the AquaBlox™ Water Matrix to eliminate all the extra excavating, liner and underlayment!
