Pondless Components
The origination point of your waterfall. This is used to disperse the water evenly coming out of the pipe.
Rocks and gravel are used to cover up and protect the liner from ultra violet rays. They also make the pondless waterfall look more natural
This is how you access the pump. It is located in the reservoir and is normally disguised under rocks and gravel. It is also a great place to place a clean out pump during cleaning since it is the lowest point in the feature.
This is located in your vault and is the motor that moves the water from the bottom of the feature to the top.
These are structurally strong crates that are used as voided space to allow for more water storage in your reservoir.
The underlayment is a fabric that protects the liner from anything that could puncture it. The liner is a rubber membrane that keeps the water inside of the water feature.
