Know before you buy
A pond-free system recirculates water from a hidden underground basin rather than an open pond. This design allows you to enjoy the sound and visual appeal of a waterfall while minimizing maintenance and safety concerns associated with standing water.
Yes, the PFK1716 is a comprehensive kit. It includes the pump, basin, liner, underlayment, plumbing, and even the necessary adhesives like PVC glue and FallsFoam to complete the installation.
The basin measures 48" x 30" x 18", and the kit includes a 10' x 15' liner to accommodate a streambed that is roughly 6 feet long and up to 24 inches wide. You should ensure your site has enough level ground to support these dimensions plus the surrounding landscaping.
The TT3000 is specifically matched to the SP1600 FastFalls component included in this kit. It is designed to provide optimal water flow for a 16-inch wide waterfall while maintaining energy efficiency.
While the kit simplifies the process by providing all necessary hardware and components, it does require excavation and basic plumbing assembly. If you are comfortable with digging and following standard installation instructions, it is a manageable DIY project.
Because there is no open pond, you don't need to worry about fish waste or heavy algae blooms. However, you should periodically clear debris from the pump vault and top off the water level to compensate for natural evaporation.
