Pondless Waterfalls

Pondless waterfalls or “disappearing waterfalls” are an exciting and innovative approach to water features. There are numerous reasons why one would opt for a pondless waterfall rather than a traditional pond.   Its increasing popularity is a great alternative for those with limited space, budget constraints, safety concerns, and for water gardening amateurs.

Limited Space: Don’t be disappointed if your landscape does not allow for a full size pond! Because pondless features make use of vertical space, they can easily be incorporated into the smallest of spaces.

Budget Constraints:   In most cases, a pondless waterfall requires less labor, materials & operating costs in comparison to a pond containing a body of water. However, don’t think you’re being short-changed! With the addition of a stream, aquatic plants, LED lighting & the homeowner’s personal touch, pondless waterfall designs are just as beautiful as traditional water gardens.

Safety Concerns:   An ideal alternative for those concerned for the safety of small children, pondless waterfalls embrace the sound & movement of running water without the drowning hazard of a traditional water garden.

Maintenance Requirements:   The maintenance requirements for a pondless waterfall are significantly reduced due to the absence of the pool of water, which is an excellent option for individuals new to the world of watergardening.   Routine maintenance of your pondless water feature includes nothing more than topping-off with water, which is lost due to evaporation &/or splash, & perhaps the occasional addition of a natural algaecide &/or beneficial bacteria recommended for optimal water clarity. Since the pondless waterfall is virtually maintenance free, it is a great choice for the retiree or those with an active lifestyle.

What is a pondless waterfall & how does it work?
The mechanics of a pondless waterfall are essentially the same as a traditional pond, without the body of water. The feature gives the illusion that the water is disappearing into a bed of gravel, which is basically a hole dug to house the pump, functioning to circulate the water. This is why it has earned the nickname, “Disappearing Waterfall.”

The pondless fountain-concept is great for those that want a waterfall or the sound of running water without actually having a pond, fish and the maintenance that is associated with a traditional water garden.   And for the amateurs with a bright future in the water gardening world, pondless features can easily be transformed into a full-fledged pond.   Anyone can have the beauty and serenity of a water feature with a pondless waterfall!!
