DIY Cascading Falls Kits

While the kit includes the pump, liner, plumbing, and Canyon Matrix material, you will need to source your own decorative rocks, boulders, and gravel to create the natural look and structure of the waterfall.

The Mini 10" kit includes a 6' x 10' liner, which provides a good baseline for the footprint of your water feature. You should plan for a space slightly smaller than these dimensions to allow for the gravel basin and the surrounding landscape.

Maintenance is straightforward, primarily involving keeping the pump intake clear of debris and ensuring the water level remains consistent. The Mini kit also includes an 8oz Pond Cleaner and Muck Buster to help manage water clarity and organic buildup.

If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, it is recommended to disconnect and store the pump indoors during the winter months. This prevents ice damage to the internal components and ensures the longevity of the equipment.

The included submersible pump provides a consistent flow rate of 1495 GPH. While the pump itself is fixed-speed, you can adjust the visual intensity of the waterfall by how you stack and arrange the rocks at the spillway.

No professional plumbing is required, as the kit uses flexible PVC piping designed for simple DIY assembly. However, you will need access to a standard outdoor GFCI-protected electrical outlet to power the submersible pump.
