Frequently Asked

Answers before
you call.

01

What is a pondless waterfall?

A recirculating waterfall where water drops into a gravel basin below grade instead of an open pond — you hear and see the falls, but there's no standing water.

02

Do pondless waterfalls need maintenance?

Very little — top off the basin, pull the pump before winter, and clean the filter mat once a season.

03

Why go pondless?

No open water — safer with small children, less maintenance, and no fish to overwinter.

04

Does it run in winter?

Many clients run them year-round for ice formations; others shut down and drain the basin in November.

05

How much space is needed?

A compelling pondless feature fits in as little as 8x10 ft.
