5. After the liner is in place, set the vault box (this holds the pump) in its spot. Next to the vault box place Aquablocks. Both the vault box and aquablocks0 are in the basin and will be covered with gravel. They are the hidden “filter system” for a Pondless® water feature. Aquablocks keep the basin hole from collapsing and reduce the amount of gravel needed. 6. Now it is time to set rocks and gravel. This is when art meets science. The rocks must be placed skillfully so they divert the water correctly. You don’t want to lose the water unknowingly. It helps to set one or two larger rocks in first then add the smaller rocks and gravel. 7. Last, rinse all the rocks and gravel. Pump out the dirty water and fill the basin. It is time to turn your own Pondless® water feature on and enjoy!
