Introduction
Thank you for choosing Atlantic’s Eco-Rise wSystem, the fastest and easiest way to create
and plumb any large decorative fountain feature.
The Eco-Rise System is comprised of four elements: ECOBLOX-SMALL structural water
matrix blocks; PV7500 Pump Vault for the pump and accessories; ECORISE12 and
ECORISE20 weight distributing risers that lift and supports heavy items to facilitate
plumbing them and the Eco-Rise Diverter which adjusts the flow to three decorative pieces.
Combined with a pump and liner, these elements create a weight-bearing reservoir that
can deliver water to as many as six individual decorative elements, each weighing up to
3000 lbs.
Reservoir Design And Siting
The size of the reservoir depends on the size, height and number of the decorative fountain
elements. For a general rule of thumb, the basin should extend out at least twice the height
of the decorative elements in all directions. A three-foot-tall by one-foot-wide column
would require a seven-foot splash zone. The Eco-Blox reservoir only needs to be large
enough to support the decorative items. The liner can then be oversized to create a ‘splash
skirt’ around the basin to recapture as much water as possible with minimum additional
excavation.
Once you have determined the size and shape of the reservoir, lay out the Eco-Blox and
Pump Vault. The Vault should be placed at the perimeter of the excavation where the lid
can be accessed easily, typically closest to the electric service. Make sure the pump cord
will reach.
Excavation & Installation Of Reservoir
After determining the size and shape of the reservoir, excavate at least a foot wider and
longer than required to leave room for backfilling. Excavate the entire area of the basin to a
depth of 13". This will accommodate one layer of Eco-Blox Small plus the gravel to hide the
reservoir. Dig the area where the PV7500 Pump Vault will sit 7⁄" deeper to accommodate
it. The additional depth will help ensure the pump remains completely submersed. Level
and tamp the bottom, then cover the bottom and sides with underlayment to protect the
liner, carefully working it into the corners and the deeper Vault area. Set the liner over the
underlayment, leaving the edges above the finished grade all around. An additional layer of
underlayment may be added for greater security.
Set the Pump Vault in the deep pocket, then install the Eco-Blox. The top of the field of
blocks should be level. Pull the liner up snugly without lifting the blocks and fold it over
the top of the Eco-Blox, then do the same with the underlayment. Backfill evenly all the
way around the blocks in 6" lifts, tamping the soil in as you go, being careful not to push
the Eco-Blox out of place, until the fill reaches the top of the blocks. Grade outside of the
reservoir to create a bowl that will return splash to the reservoir. Creating a slight berm at
the outer edge of the bowl will keep runo from entering the basin.

Plumbing Decorative Features
Using the Eco-Rise Diverter or Eco-Rise Plumbing Kit (Model:
ERKIT3)
The Eco-Rise Plumbing Kit includes 25' of 1" Sch40 Flex Pipe and three 1⁄" MPT x 1" socket
bushings to connect to Hammered Brass Bowls and Aura Vases, but can be adapted to any
style decorative element.
Set the decorative pieces in their approximate locations, layout the pipe to determine pipe
lengths and cut accordingly. Connect pipe to the outlets of the Diverter using standard PVC
solvent cement.
For Hammered Brass Bowls, Aura Vases, Copper Spillway Bowls or any feature
with 1⁄" FIPT inlet. Install the 1⁄" MPT x 1" socket bushings into the 1⁄" inlet on the
decorative feature. Glue the 1" pipe into the bushing and set the decorative element on the
Eco-Rise. Repeat for any additional elements.
For any decorative elements that accept 1" Flexible PVC, glue a 1" Sch40 90°
elbow (not included) onto the 1" pipe and glue a short length of 1" Sch40 PVC Flex Pipe into
the other end of the elbow. Insert the short length of pipe into the bottom of the decorative
element and set on the Eco-Rise.

Plumbing The Pump Vault
The PV7500 comes pre-drilled for use with
the Eco-Rise Diverter for multiple features or
1⁄” pipe for a single larger feature. If multiple
pumps are needed, the other side will need to
be drilled. Bore a 2” diameter hole using the
molded drill point as a guide.
Eco-Rise Diverters mount in the molded
pockets on the neck of the PV7500 Pump
Vault. Either one or two may be used, but each
should be plumbed to its own pump. Insert
the Diverter into the hole in the pocket and
secure with the supplied hardware.
Next install the pump and Triton Check Valve,
following the instructions included with the
Check Valve. Cut the Check Valve discharge
pipe at Perfect Cut Line B for TT1500, TT2000,
TT3000 and TT4000. Determine whether
you need the 2” outlet fitting for the Eco-Rise
Diverter or the 1⁄” fitting for 1⁄” pipe. Set the
finished assembly in the Vault and attach to
either Diverter or pipe.
The AF1000 Automatic Fill Valve is optional
but strongly recommended to keep the water
level in the reservoir safely above the pump,
avoiding pump burnout. Mounting locations
are provided on either side of the PV7500.
Follow the Auto Fill instructions to install.

Alternate installations. The 1" pipe may be secured in a number of dierent ways,
depending on the design of the decorative element. Some pieces may be secured by
puttying a 1" elbow directly into the bottom of the piece. Alternately, you may wish to
attach a standpipe to the elbow, which works well with vases, or run the flex tubing up
through the decorative piece to the top, often done with cored boulders or basalt columns.
Using 1⁄" Pipe
Run 1⁄" Pipe directly out of Pump Vault into any decorative element that accepts 1⁄" Pipe.
Fill & Adjust
Fill the reservoir. Adjust the Auto Fill if installed. Plug in the pump and adjust the flow of
water to the piece as needed to achieve the desired eect. Then top the plumbing and
Eco-Rise(s) with gravel to hide the infrastructure and complete the installation.
