Atlantic Pump Vault - Remote Inline PVRI
Remote Pump Protection Outside the Reservoir
Atlantic's PVRI Remote Inline Pump Vault allows submersible pump location outside of the lined reservoir, providing secure, accessible pump housing for applications where in-basin pump placement is impractical or undesirable. Engineered with the same proven design as Atlantic's standard pump vaults, the PVRI delivers versatile pump protection for remote inline installations, external pump stations, and systems requiring pump access independent of the main water storage basin.
Eco-Blox Integration
Atlantic's redesigned pump vaults occupy the same footprint as Eco-Blox, allowing for simplified installation whether integrated within a rectangular basin or positioned remotely. This standardized footprint ensures efficient use of space and maintains compatibility with Atlantic's modular water storage systems, even when the vault is located outside the primary reservoir.
Virtually Indestructible Construction
Rotomolded from heavy-duty polyethylene, the PVRI 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 last decades, whether installed within a basin or positioned remotely as an external pump station.

Applications
Ideal for remote pump stations, external pump access points, systems where in-basin pump placement is impractical, installations requiring pump servicing without draining the reservoir, split-system water features, irrigation pump stations, and any application where pump location outside the primary water storage basin provides operational or maintenance advantages.
Why Remote Inline Installation?
Remote inline pump vaults solve critical design challenges. When reservoir access is limited, when pump maintenance requires frequent servicing, when multiple water features draw from a single reservoir, or when pump noise must be isolated from living spaces, the PVRI provides a dedicated pump housing outside the main basin. This configuration allows pump access, maintenance, and replacement without disturbing the reservoir, liner, or water feature—a significant advantage for long-term system management.
Smart Design Details
The slotted side design provides critical installation flexibility—either side handles double the rated flow, meaning one side can be completely blocked without affecting capacity. The flat panels accommodate plumbing up to 3", along with auto-fills and custom configurations. The low-profile lid supports gravel cover and foot traffic while providing easy access to pumps and plumbing for routine maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "remote inline" mean?
A: Remote inline means the pump vault is installed outside of the main water storage reservoir, allowing the pump to be located separately from the basin. This provides easier access for maintenance and servicing without disturbing the primary water feature.
Q: Can I use the PVRI inside a reservoir like a standard pump vault?
A: Yes, the PVRI can be used either inside a reservoir or remotely. Its design is compatible with both applications, providing flexibility based on your specific installation needs.
Q: What are the advantages of remote pump installation?
A: Remote installation allows pump access and maintenance without draining the reservoir, reduces noise near living spaces, simplifies servicing, and enables one pump station to serve multiple water features.
Q: Can I use multiple pumps in the PVRI?
A: Yes, the PVRI accommodates two or more pumps, allowing for redundancy, seasonal flow adjustments, or powering multiple features from a single remote pump station.
Q: What does "either slotted side handles double the rated flow" mean?
A: Each slotted side of the vault can handle full flow independently. If one side is blocked during installation, the vault still maintains full capacity through the other side.
Q: Can I increase the height of the vault?
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 installation.
Q: What size plumbing can I run through the vault?
A: The PVRI 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.
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.
