Know before you buy
No, this is a pondless waterfall kit. It is designed to recirculate water through a hidden reservoir, allowing you to enjoy the sound of a waterfall without the maintenance or space requirements of a traditional pond.
The kit is designed to create a stream approximately 6 feet long and 1 to 2 feet wide. You will need enough additional space to accommodate the underground reservoir and the spillway box placement.
Yes, the kit includes a fish-friendly rubber liner and protective underliner. While this is a pondless system, the materials are non-toxic and safe if you choose to incorporate aquatic plants or small fish into the stream area.
This system is designed for low maintenance. The included Muck Buster helps maintain water clarity, and you will primarily need to keep the spillway clear of debris and occasionally top off the water level due to natural evaporation.
Yes, the kit comes with the necessary black PVC flex pipe and the pump discharge assembly. You will only need to provide basic tools for excavation and assembly, along with decorative rocks or gravel to finish the aesthetic.
This kit is intended for in-ground installation because it requires a reservoir to be buried to house the pump and water matrix. It is not designed to be a freestanding unit for use on top of a deck or patio surface.
