Know before you buy
A pondless design means the water cascades into a hidden underground reservoir rather than an open pool. This eliminates the need for pond maintenance like algae control or fish care while still providing the visual and auditory benefits of a waterfall.
The kit is designed to create a stream up to 17 feet long and 4 to 5 feet wide. You will also need to account for the space required to bury the reservoir matrix boxes and the waterfall spillway.
Yes, it is designed for straightforward installation, though it does require excavation and basic plumbing work. You should expect to spend a weekend on the project, especially if you are incorporating decorative stone or landscaping around the waterfall.
The kit includes the pump, liners, reservoir matrix boxes, waterfall spillway, and flex hose. You will need to provide your own decorative rock, boulders, and gravel to finish the look and hide the liner.
Maintenance is minimal because the system is closed. You will occasionally need to top off the water level due to evaporation and ensure the pump intake remains free of debris, which is easily accessible via the included pump canyon.
Yes, the system is compatible with optional lighting kits. Adding lights can significantly enhance the visual appeal of the cascading water during evening hours.
