Aquascape AquaBlox LARGE Water Matrix - (26.5" X 16" X 17.5") (MPN 29492)

Aquascape's AquaBlox Water Matrix offers a more efficient alternative to gravel in various water applications. In Pondless Waterfalls, these Water Matrix units can replace up to 90% of the gravel traditionally used in the reservoir. Similarly, in Snorkel Vault and Centipede Module Wetland filter applications, they can replace the lower layer of 4-6 inch boulders at the bottom. One of the key advantages of the AquaBlox Water Matrix is its significantly higher water storage capacity compared to gravel. While gravel can hold approximately 2.2 gallons of water per cubic foot, the Water Matrix can hold a remarkable 7.4 gallons. This extra storage capacity not only minimizes routine maintenance tasks such as topping off the reservoir due to evaporation but also allows for the use of smaller reservoirs, which in turn reduces the labor involved in excavating and moving tons of gravel. Moreover, the Water Matrix is easier to clean and less prone to clogging than traditional gravel basins, further enhancing its appeal. Additionally, the use of AquaBlox Water Matrix also reduces the need for excessive liner and geotextile underlayment.
