What is a Pondlesstm Waterfall?
Have you ever heard the saying keep it simple? Well it doesn't get any more simple than a Pondless Waterfall. What could be easier than a stream and waterfall that disappears into a bed of stone and gravel?
Who Wouldn't Want an Indoor Waterfall?
This is the answer to all the people out there who want the sound of water or the look of a stream and waterfall, without the maintenance of a pond. Yes, there are people out there who don't want fish - I know, it's hard to believe, but they're around, and they want water features.
The fact is, it's pretty common to run into people who aren't totally sold on the idea of a pond, yet still want an indoor or backyard waterfall. That's where the pondless waterfall comes into play.
How's it Done?
So how do you create a so-called pondless waterfall? We've basically borrowed the products and technology from our constructed wetland filters, the Snorkeltm Vault and Centipedetm Module.
The main difference is that we are placing a pump inside of the Snorkel Vault, and using it as a wet well. The water held within the open spaces of the gravel flows down toward the Centipede Module, which is connected to the Snorkel Vault. The water held within the open spaces of the gravel down toward the Centipede Module, which is connected to the Snorkel Vault. From there, it gets pumped up to the waterfall where it flows by gravity back down through the gravel bed and Centipede Module where the cycle repeats itself.
The greatest benefits are little to no maintenance because there is no skimmer or fish to take care of, no liabilities. The water level can fluctuate greatly between fillings and it can even be turned off when not being enjoyed. This is "the answer" for those who don't want to get into the hobby of water gardening, but still want the meditative qualities of listening to the soothing sounds created by falling water.
