Fish and plants play a vital role in maintaining the health of an ecosystem pond. Plants offer shelter and protection for invertebrates and other aquatic life while shading the pond from direct sunlight. They also absorb excess nutrients from the water, helping to control unsightly algae growth and promote a balanced environment. Fish also contribute by eating algae and their waste, in turn, provides nutrients that help nourish the plants.
It is a standalone water feature designed to replicate the sights and sounds of a natural waterfall without requiring a pond. Water is collected in a hidden underground reservoir and pumped back to the top, creating a continuous flow over rocks or other decorative elements. As the water cascades down and disappears into the reservoir, the cycle repeats, offering the beauty and serenity of a waterfall with minimal maintenance.
As it has no exposed standing body of water, a pondless waterfall is a safe option for small children and water-loving pets, whilst still being great for wildlife.
Not really! Pondless waterfalls are actually one of the lowest-maintenance water features you can have.
We install each one with an Autodoser, which automatically adds beneficial bacteria to keep the water clean and healthy.
On particularly hot days, you might need to top it up with a bit of water due to evaporation. And every now and then, clearing away any fallen leaves will help it stay looking and working its best.
