About Pondless Water Features

If you’re looking for a way to enhance your outdoor living space, waterfalls and ponds are an excellent option. You’ll love hearing the sound of running water when you step outside. These kinds of water features can make a home feel like an oasis, especially when these features are combined with other types of plants.

With that said, you may have some concerns about installing a waterfall or a pond in your garden. For example, you might be worried that your new water features will need a lot of upkeep. If there are younger children living in your home, you may have some safety concerns. Thankfully, pondless water features are an excellent option for anyone that is worried about these things.

All About Pondless Water Features

You might be wondering what pondless water features are. In a nutshell, it’s a type of stream or waterfall that is able to recirculate without requiring a pond. An underground basin is used to collect water before recirculating it back above the surface.

You’ll be able to enjoy all of the perks you’d typically enjoyed if you installed a waterfall or a stream in your home. However, a 12″ to 18″ deep pond won’t be a requirement. The water in your pondless feature will be between 2″ and 3″ inches in depth, which means you’ll have fewer safety risks.

The Upkeep Of Pondless Water Features

If you’re a busy homeowner that doesn’t have a lot of time to spend on upkeep, pondless water features are a fantastic option. You won’t have to deal with the hassles of a full pond, and you won’t have to spend lots of time on upkeep like you would with a fish pond.

Any type of water feature will require some upkeep. With that said, you won’t need to put in as much effort if you choose a pondless water feature. If you install a fish pond on your property, you can expect to spend a minimum of 10 minutes on upkeep each week. With a pondless feature, you’ll need around an hour of upkeep each year. You’ll need to remove leaves that have fallen into the basin every now and then, and your Biofalls will need to be cleaned annually.
