Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which size kit should I choose?
A: Choose the Small (10") kit for streams up to 3' long in tight spaces or corners. Choose the Medium (20") kit for streams up to 7' long with more dramatic elevation changes up to 2' high.

Q: What's the difference between a pondless waterfall and a traditional pond?
A: A pondless waterfall recirculates water through an underground reservoir covered by rocks and gravel, eliminating the open water surface. This makes it safer for children, requires less maintenance, and works in smaller spaces.

Q: How much rock and gravel do I need?
A: Rock and gravel requirements vary based on your design. Generally, plan for decorative boulders for the waterfall structure and enough gravel to cover the basin area. Consult the included color instructions for specific recommendations.

Q: Can I install this myself?
A: Yes, these kits are specifically designed for DIY installation and include color instructions. Most homeowners can complete installation in a weekend with basic tools and skills.

Q: How much maintenance does a pondless waterfall require?
A: Minimal maintenance is required. Periodically check water levels (especially in hot weather), clean the pump intake as needed, and add the included Muck Buster™ to maintain water clarity.

Q: Can I add fish to a pondless waterfall?
A: No, pondless waterfalls don't have the open water volume needed to support fish. If you want fish, consider a traditional pond system instead.
