The Ahi Series Ultimate Small Pondless Waterfall Kit delivers unmatched flexibility, cleaner water, and easier maintenance - without the hassles of traditional rock and gravel based systems.
Unlimited Design Flexibility with Modular Components
Design your waterfall your way.
With fully modular components, you can install each part exactly where it works best:
- Place the Ahi Hydro Vortex™ filter facing your patio or focal point
- Install the HydroSieve™ pre-filter in a hidden or convenient location
- Position the HydroChamber™ water reservoir near your power source
Or, install everything together - it's completely up to you.
No other small pondless waterfall kit offers this level of flexibility.
Why Conventional Pondless Waterfall Kits Fall Short
Most pondless waterfall kits - regardless of the brand - use the same outdated system:
- A waterfall spillway that is not a filter of any kind
- A slotted pump vault with or without matrix blocks
- Underlayment, and rubber liner
- Lots of rock and gravel
- Fixed design (basin must always be under the waterfall or stream)
- Difficult or impossible to keep clean and free of debris
- Lack of filtration promotes algae growth
- Dirty brown/green smelly water
Common Problems with Rock and Gravel Based Pondless Waterfall Systems
Traditional rock and gravel based systems:
- Trap debris in the gravel
- Cannot be easily cleaned
- Lead to algae, odors, and unhealthy water conditions
Rock and gravel basins trap leaves and debris, they rot over time, and then feed algae - creating odor, discoloration,
and ongoing maintenance problems.
A Smarter System: How the Ahi Series Works
The Ahi Series™ uses a closed-loop, high-efficiency filtration system:
- Water is pumped from the HydroChamber™
- It enters the patented Ahi Hydro Vortex™ backwashable waterfall filter
- Water rises up through the Hydro FilterSilk™ bio media, removing dissolved organics and trapping fine particulates
- Clean water flows out of the top of the Ahi Hydro Vortex™ filter and over the waterfall
- Water flows into the HydroSieve™ pre-filter capturing leaves and debris for easy removal
- Water then flows from the HydroSieve™ pre-filter back to the HydroChamber™.
When the System is OFF
- Water is safely stored underground inside the HydroChamber™
- No standing water is visible
- Safer for children, pets, and wildlife
Ahi Series™ Solution
- HydroSieve™ pre-filter captures debris for easy removal
- Hydro Vortex™ filter processes dissolved organics
- Backwashable system makes cleaning fast and simple
Result: Clean, clear, fresh water - without the headaches.
Hydro Vortex™ Filter Simple Backwashing Options
Manual Backwash
- Turn off pump
- Open the Ahi Hydro Vortex™ filter's drain valve and let it completely drain
- Rinse the Hydro Vortex filter from the top down with a garden hose (no need to disassemble the filter for rinsing - as the media rinses in place)
- When water exiting the drain valve runs clear, the filter is clean
- Close the drain valve
- Re-start the pump
HydroFlush™ Self-Cleaning Backwash System
- Turn of pump
- Open the Ahi Hydro Vortex™ filter's drain valve and let it completely drain
- Turn the HydroFlush™ valve to the BACKWASH position
- Re-start the pump
- Water will shoot upwards at the top of the filter, then fall back down onto and down through the filter media
- When water exiting the drain valve runs clear, the filter is clean
- Close the drain valve
That's it! No digging through gravel. No gravel removal. No mess.
