Benefits
Waterfalls provide more than visual beauty—they aerate your pond, support healthy fish and plants, and create soothing natural sound that masks traffic and neighborhood noise. The cascading water increases oxygen levels, helps maintain water clarity, and adds movement that brings your landscape to life. The extended spillway design ensures smooth, even water flow without splashing or turbulence.
Installation
Position the spillway at your desired height, connect to your pump using 3/4 in. or 1 in. tubing, and adjust water flow to achieve your preferred cascade effect. The extended lip makes installation forgiving and ensures proper water sheet formation. Use with natural stone, manufactured rock, or landscape timbers to create a custom look that complements your design vision.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a pump included with the spillway?
No, pumps and tubing are sold separately. Choose a Pond Boss pump rated between 800-2500 GPH based on your desired water flow and feature height.
What's the difference between a waterfall and a disappearing water feature?
A traditional waterfall flows into a visible pond, while a disappearing water feature flows into a hidden underground reservoir, creating the illusion that water vanishes into the landscape.
What size tubing do I need?
The spillway accepts either 3/4 in. or 1 in. inside diameter (ID) tubing. Match your tubing size to your pump outlet for optimal performance.
Will the plastic crack or fade over time?
The spillway is constructed from UV-resistant, high-impact plastic specifically engineered to withstand outdoor weather and sun exposure without cracking or fading.
How do I achieve an even water sheet?
Ensure the spillway is level from side to side during installation. The extended lip design helps create a smooth, even cascade when properly positioned.
