Finally, if you connect your flexible hose and the pump is switched on, and you do not get the desired result that you were expecting, then fear not. All is not lost! By simply trying out different arrangements of stones in your waterfall pools, then you can manipulate the way that the water flows. This is especially effective if you focus on rearranging the stones near the lip of your waterfall. All it takes is a little bit of experimenting to find what works best for you and your pond. Outdoor Pond Waterfall FAQ’s To achieve a great flow and waterfall effect,you will need at least 100 gallons per hour of flow rate for every inch of waterfall width. If you would like more rapid (white water) from your waterfall, you can increase this to 200 gallons per hour for every inch of waterfall width. To work out the exact pond pump required, you’ll need to work out your required gallons per hour (GPH) and gallons per minute (GPM) flow rate. You can do this by multiplying the waterfall width in feet x 30 GPM. To work effectively, pond filters need regular maintenance – cleaning or replacing the filters, and replacing UV filters where applicable.Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

One way of being able to hide them is for them to either be submersible or able to be placed in the ground, as you can with the Laguna Pressure Flo Filter. For a simple guide, we recommend that if your ground is flat then you should create a waterfall that is no more than two to three feet tall. However, if your garden is on a natural slope then you may get away with a larger waterfall and still have it look good. Remember that your pond and waterfall should look as natural as possible and you should try where you can to blend them into the surrounding landscape. For this reason, having a 6-foot tall waterfall, for example, in a flat garden would not look natural in the least. Can I Have a Waterfall in a Wildlife Pond? Once you have chosen the perfect preformed waterfall to suit your needs and style, then you will need to work out how the pieces are going to fit together. From this, we can decide how to shape their resting places accordingly. Just remember to plan to have the final lip of your waterfall overhang the pond by at least five or ten centimetres – this ensures you get a good splash and helps prevent any water loss. Why use a pond filter? Pond filters are useful in ponds that have a large population of fish, because they remove waste products from the fish and any plant debris, helping to keep the water clear. This, in turn, ensures a balanced ecosystem.The first thing that you need to do is work out how many gallons your pond holds. To do this, you need to find the width, length and depth in feet and then times this all together. To covert it from feet to gallons, you then times that figure by 6.25. When the earthworks and rest spots for your pond waterfall are ready, then the actual installation follows a similar process as when initially installing your pond. You should ensure that everything is level and that the preformed pond waterfalls are properly supported. Some people choose to cement preformed waterfalls in place to ensure that they don’t shift out of place. The spillway is fairly generous for such a compact waterfall filter, and includes an under ridge design to prevent dripping. The filter system has both biological and mechanical filtration stages, with bio-activators for bacteria colonization and a fiber mat for trapping larger debris.
