HIGH STRENGTH RESERVOIR CUBES
 While
t he
standard res-cubes below work well in back-yard and light commercial
applications, these heavy duty cubes can be used in high weight bearing
features.
Ideal for use in Just-A-Falls and
pondless features using
large boulders
Can be used under roadways, pathways,
sidewalks, etc.
Fewer cubes are needed due to the large
size (2.8 times larger
than res-cubes below)
Great for retention and recycling of rain
water
27" x 16" x 17" equal to 4.4 cubic feet
of space
Each cube holds 31.5 gallons of water
Ships unassembled to save space, quick
and easy assembly on site
Sold in pairs only!

RESERVOIR CUBES
Your landscape crew will thank you for saving
their backs by using Res-Cubes!
 Reservoir Cubes (Res-Cubes) are a great way to simplify
installation of Just-A-Falls, formal fountains and other basins typically using
a large quantity of rock. These sturdy plastic cubes can be stacked
together to partially or totally fill the reservoir of a Just-A-Falls.
This dramatically reduces the labor involved; reservoir size; and material cost
in liner, underlayment and rock! (Instructions:
Res-Cubes)
Rather than develop expensive molds and tooling to make a
product for this we simply used our buying power to negotiate good prices on an
existing product in the marketplace. These oversized milk crates
eliminated molding charges and by purchasing 3,690 (a full 53' semi load) at a time, we
can sell them for less than you would pay buying direct in smaller quantities.
A typical reservoir filled with rock holds 40% water and 60%
stone. By using Res-Cubes you can increase water to 85% and reduce rock to
15%! This allows you to hold more water in a smaller area, reducing the
reservoir size needed.
Res-Cubes help reduce overall cost by:
Reducing rock tonnage
Reservoir can be made smaller because of the increased
water
percentage due to less rock being used
Installation time is reduced considerably -
smaller reservoir
hole means less digging, less liner and less labor
Res-Cubes measure 19" long x 13" wide x 11" high. The
height is ideal since our mini vault is 22" high and the large vault is 33"
high. By using two or three stacked rows of cubes you can match the vault
height perfectly. Res-Cubes can be connected together using plastic zip
ties to create large blocks of space.
For shipping and storage purposes one Res-Cube can nest inside
two opposing cubes. This allows three cubes to ship in the space of two
cubes.
Notice
the waterfill box pictured above. Leaving out one re-cube created
a perfect spot for the auto fill box to sit.

EasyPro
and Sinacori Landscape (MI) installed this "Just-A-Falls" sign feature
in front of the new clubhouse at Tullymore Golf Resort (ranked 14th in
the nation).
224 res-cubes used to fill the 5' wide x 27'
long reservoir.
Three EP16000 pumps used.
10' wide expandable spillway used at the top of
the sign, 34" spillway on
each side.

The following comparison shows the savings of time
and rock by using Res-Cubes:
A typical 8' x 10' x 3' deep reservoir filled with rock would
take:
Approximately eleven tons of rock
A liner 20' x 20'
An underlayment 20' x 20'
80 square feet of ground space;
and hold approximately 718 gallons of water
A 6' x 8' x 3' reservoir with cubes would take:
60 Res-Cubes
A liner 15' x 20'
An underlayment 15' x 20'
1.5 tons of rock to cover top of cubes
48 square feet of ground space;
and hold approximately 754 gallons of water

As you can see by the comparison on the left, a much smaller
reservoir will actually hold more water!The labor saved in
digging a 40% smaller hole along with the huge time savings of 9.5
ton less rock to move adds up to more money for you.
The cost for the cubes is approximately the same as the cost of
the rock (depends on the type of rock, delivery charges, etc.) but
the labor savings will be substantial. Keep in mind labor
costs and machine time to move rock from delivery point (front yard
/ curbside) back to reservoir and the time spent stacking rocks into
the reservoir.
One person can carry and install 60 Res-Cubes by themselves (no
machine) in 15 minutes!
