Pondless WaterfallsGO PONDLESS! You’ll love it. Guaranteed! A Pondless waterfall is simply a waterfall without a pond to fall into.You might ask. “Well where does the water go?” The water flows into a reservoir at the foot of the falls, much like a smaller yet deeper pond. However with a Pondless Waterfall this reservoir is filled with cobblestones and pebbles. Water is then added until its level is just below the surface of the top layer of pebbles. A minimum of five aquatic plants are then planted directly into the gravel, where the roots will eventually grow deep into the gravel. These plants, in combination with the cobblestones and pebbles in the reservoir act as the filtration system, keeping the water clean and clear The Pondless Waterfall uses a state of the art pump system to collect the water and return it to the waterfall source. Because the water never pools above the level of rock and gravel fill, It is safe for young children. Children of all ages love Pondless waterfalls. They stand in the streams; dunk their heads under the falls, Laugh and giggle and generally have a wonderful time. Parents get a well deserved break with a chance to read a book, or just sit back and enjoy themselves. It is also ideal if the desired location for the waterfall is under trees where leaf debris, falling into a pond would be a maintenance problem. With a Pondless waterfall a normal garden rake is all that is needed. The system is eco-friendly, energy efficient and nearly maintenance free. It can be turned on and off as needed since there is no ecological need to keep it running all the time. Pump running costs are therefore kept to a minimum. For nighttime viewing lighting can be added, which adds a whole other dimension to enjoying your water feature, particularly important if your commute brings you home after dark. A Pondless waterfall is a great alternative for front yards. It fits in small places where a pond might be crowded.
