\"What<\/span><\/div>

Interest<\/h3>\n

Pondless Waterfalls are simply a re-circulating waterfall without the presence of a pond. You\u00a0 can enjoy the sight and sound of running water without the maintenance of a pond.<\/p>\n

Waterfalls are the most captivating part of a water garden. In tight spaces, or situations where pond maintenance or safety are an issue, a Pondless Waterfall is a great choice. The name basically explains it all. It\u2019s a waterfall that does not run into a pond. Pondless Waterfalls are simply a re-circulating waterfall, with or without a stream.<\/p>\n

Cost<\/h3>\n

Depending on the relative sizes, Pondless waterfalls can cost less than a pond, as there are often less labor & materials involved. Operating costs & maintenance can also be less, because you\u2019re not maintaining an ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Space<\/h3>\n

On a hillside, a Pondless Waterfall is a stunning addition. In a smaller space, a smaller Pondless Waterfall means you can enjoy the soothing effects of a beautiful waterfall without needing space for a pond.<\/p>\n

Flexibility<\/h3>\n

Perhaps the best part of the Pondless Waterfall is the possibility for the future. If you change your mind later, wishing you\u2019d build a pond, that\u2019s ok! If you have enough room around the base of the waterfall, it\u2019s easy to add a pond onto a Pondless Waterfall.<\/p>\n

Complete System<\/h3>\n

A Pondless Waterfall works much like a regular pond. An underground water storage vault at the bottom of the waterfall holds the water which is circulated by a pump that sits on the bottom. A pipe runs from there up to the top of the waterfall, where it runs back down the waterfall & into the reservoir.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5351,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-learning-center"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
