How It Works
The Pit Viper Wetland Diffuser Module is buried underground and serves as a water reservoir for pondless waterfalls or wetland filters. Water from your waterfall or stream flows into the module, which distributes it evenly across its large surface area. The pump sits inside the module, drawing water back up to recirculate through your water feature. The shallow, wide design maximizes water storage while minimizing excavation depth.

Installation Considerations
The Pit Viper module is designed to be buried underground with decorative rock or gravel placed on top. Excavate an area slightly larger than the module dimensions, ensuring level placement. The module can support substantial rock loads while providing easy access to the pump for maintenance. Multiple modules can be placed side-by-side for larger installations.
FAQ
Q: How much water does this module hold?
A: Water capacity depends on how the module is filled and what media is placed inside. The module provides substantial water storage for pondless waterfall systems, typically holding enough water to keep the pump submerged and provide reserve capacity.
Q: Can I use multiple modules together?
A: Yes, multiple Pit Viper modules can be placed side-by-side to create larger reservoir systems for bigger pondless waterfalls or wetland filters.
Q: What size pump can I use with this?
A: The module accommodates most submersible pumps used in pondless waterfall systems. Choose your pump based on your waterfall height and desired flow rate.
Q: How deep do I need to excavate?
A: Excavate approximately 18-20 inches deep to accommodate the 17.5" module height plus a gravel base for leveling and drainage.
Q: Can I access the pump after installation?
A: Yes, the design allows for pump access by removing the decorative rock on top. This makes maintenance and pump servicing straightforward.
Q: What is a wetland diffuser?
A: A wetland diffuser distributes water evenly across a wide, shallow area, mimicking natural wetland water flow. This is ideal for wetland filtration systems where water flows through gravel and plant roots for natural filtration.
Q: Will this support heavy rocks on top?
A: Yes, the heavy-duty construction is designed to support substantial rock and gravel loads typically used in pondless waterfall installations.
Q: Is this suitable for a wetland filter?
A: Yes, the Pit Viper module is excellent for wetland filter installations. The even water distribution ensures water flows uniformly through your wetland media and plants.
Q: How is this different from traditional pondless basins?
A: The Pit Viper module provides a larger, shallower reservoir compared to traditional deep basins. This design maximizes water storage while minimizing excavation depth and provides better water distribution.
Q: Can I use this in freezing climates?
A: The module itself can withstand freezing, but like all pondless systems, you should winterize by draining the system and protecting the pump in freezing climates.
