How Does a Pondless Waterfall Work?
A pondless waterfall is designed to pump water contained in an in-ground reservoir up and through a waterfall feature known as waterfall spillways. The system allows the water to fall back down into the reservoir.
How Much Water Does a Pondless Waterfall Need?
To calculate the size of your waterfall spillway, remember this rule of thumb – every inch of spillway requires at least 100 gallons of water every hour. If you need a more splashy effect, talk to a pondless waterfall installer near you about increasing the flow to 200 gallons per inch of spillway per hour.
How Do I Know What Size Waterfall Pump Do I Need?
When determining the size of the waterfall pump you need, consider important factors such as the width of your waterfall, the length of the water drop, and curtain water thickness.
Do Pond Pumps Use a Lot of Electricity?
Thanks to technological advancements, ponds do not consume as much energy as they used to before. To calculate your pond pump’s electrical cost, multiply pump power draw (usually mentioned in the specs) with cost per kilowatt-hour, and the number of hours your pump operates every day.
