The Pondless™ Waterfall
Why is it called a Pondless™ Waterfall?
Since the water level never pools above the level of the rock and gravel fill, it gives the appearance of a pondless waterfall.
Moving water is a magnet for birds and other wildlife.
Are you interested in installing a water feature in your yard, but concerned about the safety and liabilities of having a pond? Or are you apprehensive about taking on the responsibility of maintaining a full-fledge ecosystem? Well, we have the answer for you. The Pondless™ Waterfall is basically that – a waterfall and stream, without the pond.
A Pondless™ Waterfall is the ultimate summer playground for kids. Move over Slip ‘N Slide!
What if I want to add a pond later?
A Pondless™ Waterfall is almost a stepping-stone for people who might be interested in a full-fledged pond in the future. If your contractor is resourceful, they'll make sure they leave enough room for a pond to be added later.
Where does the water come from?
A hole, deeper than a normal pond, is dug, then lined and filled with rock, gravel and water. The water is then circulated from beneath the rocks and gravel by a pump that sits on the bottom.
How does a Pondless™ Waterfall Circulate?
The water held within the open spaces of the gravel flows 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 . . . and the cycle beings again.

Safety
If you have small children and safety is a concern, you can start with a Pondless ™ Waterfall. With the simple addition of a skimmer and larger liner, you can convert your system to a pond when the kids are older.

The cost of a Pondless™ Waterfall is usually less than a full-blown pond, and waterfalls can be placed on a timer for electrical savings.
