When designing a pond-free water feature, it is essential to ensure that the basin holds enough water to support the system and is properly lined. The water in transit, which is the total volume of water moving in the system, is used to determine the size of the basin. The equation to calculate the water in transit is: L x W x 0.25 x 7.48 = Water in Transit (WIT), where L represents the length of the waterfall and streamway, W is the width of the waterfall and streamway, 0.25 is the depth of the streamway in feet, and 7.48 is the number of gallons that 1 cubic foot can hold.

To keep the pump from running dry and to compensate for water lost due to evaporation, the basin should be sized to hold 1.5 times the water in transit. The formula for calculating the minimum required basin total cubic feet is: WIT x 1.5 = Total Minimum Gallons of Water Required in Basin, and Total Minimum Gallons of Water Required in Basin x 7.48 Gallons per ft.³ = Minimum Required Basin Total cuft.

Half Off Ponds recommends using 2.5 times the water in transit in the formulas above and using MatrixBlox to build the basin area, which is included in the majority of their kits. Each MatrixBlox holds 31.5 gallons, and the number of blocks needed can be determined by taking 2.5 times the water in transit and dividing it by 31.5.

The advantages of using MatrixBlox include: - Water matrix blocks installed in lined excavations create weight-bearing underground water storage reservoirs. - With 96% void space, MatrixBlox hold more water in a smaller volume, reducing the overall size of the basin. - MatrixBlox lock together quickly and securely, easily supporting landscaping, pavers, gravel, or sod for great design versatility. - Modular blocks can be arranged in any configuration and any number of levels to accommodate almost any basin. - Excellent for bog construction to create settling chambers below natural plantings of active bog filters.

The MatrixBlox are available in two sizes: Large (28" x 17" x 15.5", 31-gallon capacity) and Small (28" x 15.5" x 9", 17-gallon capacity), both available in single blocks and three-packs. The blocks come unassembled for easier shipping and easy assembly.
