Pondless Waterfalls

What is a Pondless Waterfall?

A Pondless Waterfall is a recirculating waterfall or stream that doesn’t flow into a larger body of water. As the water splashes onto the rocks and gravel, the water filters down to the inground water reservoir. Here it’s pumped back to the top, creating the waterfall spillway!
