Blue Thumb Spillway Cascading Falls Kit

A pond-less system recirculates water from a hidden underground reservoir rather than a traditional open pond. This design provides the visual and auditory benefits of a waterfall while significantly reducing maintenance and safety concerns associated with standing water.

This kit is engineered to support a stream up to 17 feet in length. The included 3-inch piping and 7800 GPH pump are specifically balanced to maintain consistent water flow over that distance.

Yes, this is an all-in-one package that includes the 40-inch spillway, the high-capacity pump, the necessary plumbing, and the PondGard rubber liners. You will only need to provide the decorative rocks, gravel, and basic excavation tools to complete the build.

While the kit is designed for straightforward assembly, it does involve significant physical labor, including digging, leveling, and rock placement. If you are comfortable with basic landscaping projects, it is very manageable, though having an extra set of hands for moving heavy stones is highly recommended.

In regions that experience freezing temperatures, you should disconnect the pump, clean it, and store it indoors for the winter. The spillway and liner are weather-resistant, but you should ensure the basin is drained or protected to prevent ice damage to the plumbing components.

The pump included in this kit provides a high-volume flow designed for a dramatic water sheet. While the pump itself is fixed-speed, you can adjust the visual intensity of the waterfall by using a ball valve on the plumbing line to restrict flow if you prefer a softer, more subtle cascade.
