What are Pondless Water Reservoir Basin-Ectomies™?
Replacing Obsolete Hard to Clean
Pondless Rock and Gravel Reservoir Basins with
Easy to Clean Hydro Sieve™ Filter and HydroChamber™
When the pondless waterfall rock and gravel reservoir maintenance becomes too much work, the only thing that can be done is to completely replace the rock and gravel reservoir with an easy to clean pre-filter and an "all-in-one" pump chamber/water storage tank.
The Hydro Sieve™ pre-filter works in conjunction with the Hydro Chamber™ to make maintaining your pondless waterfall much easier by completely replacing the entire rock and gravel reservoir.
A pondless basin-ectomy will make maintaining your pondless waterfall much easier. Emptying the Hydro Sieve™ pre-filter is much easier than hand picking debris from a rock and gravel reservoir.
