Why Install a Pondless Waterfall?
Are you interested in installing a water feature in your yard, but concerned about the safety and liabilities of having a pond? Or are you apprehensive about taking on the responsibility of maintaining a full-fledged ecosystem? Well, we have the answer for you. The Pondless® Waterfall is basically that – a waterfall and stream, without the pond.
-
Great alternative for a front yard pond; fits in small spaces where a pond might be crowded
-
Perfect for public settings (ex: building entrances, children’s gardens, zoos, etc.) where liabilities of a pond are a concern
-
Virtually maintenance-free! Simply refill the reservoir every few weeks to compensate for water loss due to evaporation
-
Energy efficient – no ecological need to run the system continuously
-
Set a timer – ideal for vacations and night/day settings
-
No ecosystem to worry about (fish, etc.)
-
Why is it called a Pondless® Waterfall?
-
Since the water level never pools above the level of the rock and gravel fill, it gives the appearance of a Pondless® Waterfall.
Where does the water come from?
A hole, deeper than a normal pond, is dug, then lined and filled with rock, gravel and water. The water is then circulated from beneath the rocks and gravel by a pump that sits on the bottom.
Where does the water go?
The water runs through a pipe up to a spillway and down a constructed waterfall and stream, where it falls back into the reservoir.
What if I want to add a pond later?
A Pondless® Waterfall is almost a stepping-stone for people who might be interested in a full-fledge pond in the future. If your contractor is resourceful, they’ll make sure they leave enough room for a pond to be added later.
How does a Pondless® Waterfall Circulate?
The water held within the open spaces of the gravel flows down toward the Centipede™ Module, which is connected to the Snorkel™ Vault. From there, it gets pumped up to the waterfall, where it flows by gravity back down through the gravel bed and Centipede™ Module… and the cycle begins again.
