Know before you buy
A pond-less system circulates water through an underground reservoir rather than a traditional open pond. This design provides the aesthetic and auditory benefits of a waterfall while significantly reducing maintenance and safety concerns associated with standing water.
Yes, this is an all-in-one package. It includes the 28-inch spillway, a 6000 GPH pump, the necessary 25-foot piping, and the required PondGard rubber liners to ensure a complete setup.
This kit is designed to create a stream up to 15 feet long and 2 to 4 feet wide. You will need enough yard space to accommodate these dimensions, plus room for the underground reservoir and the pump housing.
The included 6000 GPH pump is high-capacity and designed for consistent water movement. However, as with any outdoor water feature, you should keep the intake area clear of leaves and large debris to maintain optimal flow and protect the pump motor.
While the kit is designed for a straightforward setup, it does require some landscaping work, including digging the reservoir and shaping the stream bed. If you are comfortable with basic DIY landscaping tasks, you should be able to manage the installation.
Maintenance is minimal compared to a traditional pond. You will primarily need to top off the water level occasionally due to evaporation, clear debris from the spillway, and ensure the pump intake remains unobstructed.
