Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size pump do I need?
A: The cascade box accommodates pumps up to 5500 GPH. For optimal performance, we recommend 2000-3500 GPH depending on your desired flow rate and head height.
Q: What is the Matala diffuser mat?
A: The black Matala mat distributes water evenly across the entire spillway width, creating a smooth, consistent water curtain rather than uneven flow.
Q: Can I use this in a traditional pond?
A: While designed for pondless applications, it can be integrated into pond systems as a streamlined alternative to traditional bio-waterfalls.
Q: Can I install multiple units side-by-side?
A: Yes, multiple units can be positioned adjacent to each other to create wider waterfall configurations. Each unit should be leveled independently and plumbed according to your design.
Q: Is this suitable for DIY installation?
A: Yes. The unit includes all necessary hardware, fittings, sealant, and full-color instructions. Basic plumbing and landscape installation skills are helpful.
Q: What maintenance does this require?
