Know before you buy
Yes, the Formal Falls kit is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Because it is a self-contained system, it works well in sunrooms or entryways, provided you have a waterproof wall structure to house the spillway.
No, the kit features a self-draining design that eliminates the need for winterizing. You can leave it in place year-round without worrying about freeze damage.
The included pump is rated for a maximum waterfall height of 24 inches. Exceeding this height will significantly reduce the water flow and may prevent the spillway from creating a smooth, consistent sheet of water.
Yes, the basin is built to be sturdy enough for above-ground installation, or it can be buried in-ground for a more integrated look. Its sealed top is designed to support the weight of stacked stone or block walls.
The kit includes the 42-gallon basin, the 16-inch stainless steel spillway, the 1800 GPH pump, and the necessary plumbing accessories. You will only need to provide the wall materials, such as stone or block, and any mortar or adhesive required for your specific structure.
Yes, the basin comes with pre-installed spinwelds that make adding an optional auto-fill valve straightforward. This is a helpful feature if you want to maintain water levels automatically without manual refilling.
