EasyPro Standard 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!

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.

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, 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!
