ARE YOU INTERESTED in installing a water feature in your yard, but concerned about the safety and liabilities of having a pond? Or are you apprehensive about taking on the responsibility of maintaining a full-fledged ecosystem? Well, we have the answer for you. The Pondless Waterfall is a waterfall and stream, without the pond.

Great alternative for a front yard pond; fits in small spaces where a pond
might be crowed
-
Perfect for public settings (ex: building entrances, children’s gardens, zoos,
etc.) where liabilities of a pond are a concern
-
Virtually maintenance-free! Simply refill the reservoir every few weeks to
compensate for water loss due to evaporation
-
Energy efficient-no ecological need to run the system continuously
-
Set a timer-ideal for vacations and night/day settings
-
No ecosystem to worry about (fish, etc.)
Why is it called a Pondless Waterfall?
Since the water level never pools above the level of the rock and gravel fill,
it gives the appearance of a pondless waterfall.
What if I want to add a pond later?
A Pondless Waterfall is almost a stepping-stone for people who might be
interested in a full-fledged pond in the future. If your contractor is
resourceful, they’ll make sure they leave enough room for a pond to be added
later.
Moving Water is a magnet for birds and other wildlife. A Pondless Waterfall is
the ultimate summer playground for kids. Move over Slip ’N Slide.
Where does the water come from?
A hole, deeper than a normal pond, is dug, then lined and filled with rock,
gravel and water. The water is then circulated form beneath the rocks and
gravel by a pump that sits on the bottom.
Where does the water go?
The water runs through a pipe up to a BIOFALLS filter and down a constructed
waterfall and stream, where it falls back into the reservoir.
How does a Pondless Waterfall circulate?
The water held within the open spaces of the gravel flows down toward the
Centipede Module, which is connected to the Snorkel Vault. From there, it gets
pumped up to the waterfall, where it flows by gravity back down through the
gravel bed and Centipede Module…and the cycle begins again.
Safety
If you have small children and safety is a concern, you can start with a
Pondless Waterfall. With the simple addition of a skimmer and larger liner, you
can convert your system to a pond when the kids are older.
Maintenance
Some people feel that taking care of fish would be a little too much of a
responsibility, and that they won’t be able to leave their pond for long
periods of time, while others say they do not have enough room for a whole
pond. The Pondless Waterfall is virtually maintenance-free!
Cost
The cost of a Pondless Waterfall is usually less than a full-blown pond, and
waterfalls can be placed on a timer for electrical savings.
Appearance
Freshen up the entrance to your office or home. A Pondless Waterfall can add
great curb appeal to any home or business looking to add to the aesthetic value
of their property. The low cost and easy maintenance make this system an easy
choice for those wanting to add some zest to their landscape plan.
