Know before you buy
A pondless waterfall recirculates water from an underground reservoir rather than collecting it in an open pond. This design provides the visual and auditory benefits of a waterfall while eliminating the maintenance and safety concerns associated with standing water.
The kit is designed for smaller footprints, but you will need enough area to accommodate the 10' x 12' liner and the underground water storage vault. While the waterfall itself is compact, ensure you have sufficient space for the excavation required for the reservoir.
Yes, the included AquaSurge 2000 pump is rated for 2,000 gallons per hour, which is specifically matched to provide a consistent and robust flow for a waterfall of this size. It is designed for continuous outdoor operation.
Maintenance is minimal compared to a traditional pond. You will primarily need to keep the waterfall spillway clear of debris and occasionally top off the water level in the reservoir, especially during hot, dry weather when evaporation is higher.
This is a DIY-friendly kit that includes all necessary components and instructions. However, because it requires digging a hole for the reservoir and positioning heavy stones, you should be prepared for a moderate amount of physical labor.
No, the kit provides the mechanical components, liner, and pump, but you will need to source your own decorative rocks and boulders locally. This allows you to customize the aesthetic of the waterfall to match your existing landscape.
