FAQ
Q: What is a pondless waterfall?
A: A pondless waterfall circulates water from a hidden underground reservoir rather than a visible pond. This design offers the beauty and sound of flowing water with reduced maintenance, smaller footprint, and enhanced safety for families with children.
Q: Why choose a Cascade Falls Box over a bio-waterfall?
A: Cascade Falls Boxes are specifically designed for pondless applications where biological filtration isn't needed. They're more compact, easier to conceal in landscapes, and provide excellent water distribution without the bulk of a bio-waterfall system.
Q: What does the Matala mat do?
A: The black Matala diffuser mat distributes incoming water evenly across the weir, creating a smooth, uniform sheet of water flow rather than concentrated streams or uneven cascading.
Q: Can I connect multiple units together?
A: Yes, you can place Cascade Falls Boxes side-by-side to create wider waterfalls and custom configurations. This modular design allows you to achieve waterfall widths beyond the standard 14" spillway.
Q: What size pump do I need?
A: The unit supports pumps up to 2,500 GPH maximum flow. For a 14" spillway, use 100-150 GPH per inch of width (1,400-2,100 GPH) for optimal water sheet effect. Account for head height when sizing your pump.
Q: Is the landscape lid removable?
A: The landscape lid is attached to the unit and designed to conceal the box while allowing access for maintenance. It integrates naturally into your landscape design.
Q: What is a detachable weir?
A: The weir is the spillway edge where water flows over. The detachable design allows for easier installation, maintenance access, and potential replacement if needed.
Q: Do I need professional installation?
A: The kit includes full-color instructions and all necessary hardware for DIY installation. However, professional installation is recommended for optimal performance and to ensure proper integration with your pondless reservoir system.
