Atlantic Pump Vault 15,000 GPH PV15000
High-Capacity Underground Pump Protection
Atlantic's PV15000 Pump Vault houses and protects the pumps and plumbing of large-scale underground water storage and circulation systems, providing secure, accessible pump housing for high-flow pondless waterfalls, commercial water features, wetland filtration, and extensive underground reservoir applications. Engineered to handle pumps up to 15,000 GPH, this vault combines industrial-grade durability with intelligent design features that simplify installation and maintenance in demanding applications.
Eco-Blox Integration
Atlantic's redesigned pump vaults occupy the same footprint as Eco-Blox, allowing for simplified installation within rectangular basins. This standardized footprint eliminates guesswork during layout and ensures efficient use of basin space. The PV15000 integrates directly into your Eco-Blox grid, creating a cohesive underground water storage system with dedicated pump protection for high-capacity installations.
Virtually Indestructible Construction
Rotomolded from heavy-duty polyethylene, the PV15000 delivers long, worry-free service in demanding underground environments. The seamless construction resists cracking, warping, and degradation from UV exposure, soil pressure, and constant water contact. This is a vault built to handle the rigors of commercial installations and high-flow residential systems for decades.

Applications
Ideal for large pondless waterfall systems, commercial water features, extensive wetland filtration systems, high-capacity rainwater harvesting, irrigation systems, and any application requiring secure underground housing for high-flow pumps. Perfect for commercial installations, large residential estates, public water features, and projects where pump capacity and system reliability are critical.
Smart Design Details
The slotted side design is a critical feature for real-world installations. Either side handles double the rated flow, meaning one side can be completely blocked by liner without affecting the vault's 15,000 GPH capacity. This flexibility eliminates installation headaches and accommodates varying basin configurations. The flat panels provide clean mounting surfaces for plumbing penetrations up to 3", while the low-profile lid design supports gravel cover and foot traffic without compromising access to high-capacity pumps and plumbing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size pump can the PV15000 accommodate?
A: The PV15000 is rated for pumps up to 15,000 GPH. The 12.25" × 14.75" opening accommodates most high-capacity submersible pumps within this flow range.
Q: Can I use multiple pumps in one vault?
A: Yes, the PV15000 accommodates two or more pumps, allowing for redundancy, seasonal flow adjustments, or powering multiple large water features from a single vault.
Q: Which Eco-Blox model is compatible with the PV15000?
A: The PV15000 is designed to work with standard ECOBLOX and occupies the same footprint for seamless integration into your basin layout.
Q: What does "either slotted side handles double the rated flow" mean?
A: Each slotted side of the vault can handle the full 15,000 GPH flow independently. This means if one side is blocked by liner during installation, the vault still maintains full capacity through the other side.
Q: Can I increase the height of the vault for deeper basins?
A: Yes, Atlantic offers pump vault extensions that add the height of one Eco-Blox unit per extension. You can stack multiple extensions to achieve the depth required for your basin.
Q: What size plumbing can I run through the vault?
A: The PV15000 has 2" and 3" discharge connections, and the flat panels accommodate up to 3" plumbing and auto-fill fittings.
Q: How do I access the pump for maintenance?
A: The low-profile lid removes easily without gravel falling into the vault. Simply lift the lid to access pumps, check valves, and plumbing for routine maintenance or seasonal service.
Q: Is the vault strong enough to support gravel and foot traffic?
A: Yes, the low-profile lid is extremely strong and designed to support gravel cover and occasional foot traffic without damage.
Q: What is covered under the lifetime warranty?
A: The lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects and material failures under normal use. Consult your warranty documentation for complete terms and conditions.
Q: What is the difference between the PV15000 and smaller pump vault models?
A: The PV15000 is rated for pumps up to 15,000 GPH and is designed for large-scale, high-capacity installations. Smaller models like the PV7500 (7,500 GPH) and PV1700 (3,900 GPH) are suited for smaller applications with lower flow requirements.
