Aquascape Backyard Waterfall Landscape Fountain Kit

A pondless design means the water reservoir is hidden underground beneath a layer of rock and gravel. This allows you to enjoy the sound and visual of a waterfall without the maintenance, safety concerns, or space requirements of an open pond.

The kit includes all the mechanical components, such as the AquaSurge 2000 pump, the AquaBasin reservoir, the liner, and the plumbing. However, you will need to purchase approximately 1,000 lbs of rock and 200-300 lbs of gravel separately to create the natural waterfall aesthetic.

The kit comes with a 7.5' x 7.5' EPDM liner, which provides a good footprint for a standard backyard feature. Because the reservoir is buried, the total surface area required is relatively small, making it ideal for tight corners or smaller garden spaces.

Yes, the 2000 GPH flow rate is well-suited for a 22-inch wide spillway, providing a steady, robust flow of water. The pump is designed with a low-suction intake, which helps prevent clogging and protects the motor from debris.

The kit is designed for straightforward installation and includes all necessary plumbing and an installation guide. While it does require manual labor—specifically digging the hole for the reservoir and arranging the heavy stones—it is considered a manageable weekend project for a DIYer.

If you live in an area with freezing temperatures, you should disconnect the pump and store it indoors for the winter to prevent damage. The basin itself can remain in the ground, but you should ensure the plumbing is drained to avoid cracking from ice expansion.
