How It Works
The Just-A-Falls™ system uses a hidden underground pump vault that stores water and houses the submersible pump. Water is pumped through flexible PVC pipe to the spillway at the top of your stream. The water cascades down the 7-foot watercourse and disappears into decorative rock at the bottom, where it drains back into the vault to recirculate. The pondless design means no exposed standing water.

FAQ
Q: What does "pondless" mean?
A: A pondless waterfall has no exposed pond. Water disappears into a rock-filled basin at the bottom and recirculates from an underground vault, creating the waterfall effect without standing water.
Q: Is this difficult to install?
A: Installation requires excavation, grading, and plumbing skills. While the kit includes everything needed, professional installation is recommended for best results unless you have experience with water feature construction.
Q: How much space do I need?
A: You'll need space for a 7-foot stream plus the spillway and basin area. The exact footprint depends on your design, but plan for approximately 8-10 feet in length and 3-5 feet in width.
Q: Can I expand this system later?
A: Yes, you can add stream extensions, additional spillways, or decorative elements. The modular design allows for customization and expansion.
Q: How much water does this hold?
A: Water volume depends on your basin size and stream depth. The pump vault and stream typically hold 50-150 gallons total, which you'll need to fill initially.
Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Minimal maintenance includes occasional debris removal, checking water levels, cleaning the pump intake, and winterization in cold climates. Much less maintenance than traditional ponds.
Q: Can I run this year-round?
A: In mild climates, yes. In freezing climates, you'll need to winterize by draining the system and protecting the pump to prevent freeze damage.
Q: Is the pump included powerful enough?
A: Yes, the included pump is specifically sized for the 7-foot stream and 18-inch spillway to provide optimal flow and performance.
Q: Do I need to add rocks?
A: Yes, decorative rocks and boulders are not included. You'll need to source rocks to create the natural appearance around the stream and basin.
Q: Can I use this kit on flat ground?
A: The system works best on a slope. On flat ground, you'll need to create elevation change by building up the stream area with soil and rocks.
