Today, we’ll go a bit more in-depth about this type of water feature, explain the concept and function of pondless waterfalls so you can see whether one would be a good fit for your yard.

What’s So Great About a New Pondless Waterfall?

The idea is pretty basic. It is an outdoor water feature consisting of a waterfall but not featuring a pond as is typically seen. This lack of a pond is helpful in several ways.

Maintenance is easier because you don’t have to work so hard at keeping leaves and other debris out of the reservoir. Your water bill also won’t get hit as much when you don’t have to maintain such a large quantity of water.

You also won’t need to put (nor will you have room for) fish in a pond and therefore won’t have to care for them.

At the base of the waterfall where there would normally be a pond, you will usually find small rocks piled or grouped to minimize the open water hazard. The best part about these types of waterfalls is that they are more cost effective both from the beginning and in continual maintenance.

If you have small children, this is a safer type of waterfall to have in your yard. Although, keep in mind, that a child can drown in only a couple inches of water so don’t leave small children unsupervised.

Another aspect that also helps cut down on your energy bills is the lack of need for continuous filtration and oxygenation systems. The only piece of machinery needed is a pump strong enough to circulate the water from the small reservoir at the bottom up to the top of the waterfall.
