ULTIMATE Pondless Waterfall Systems Let You Perform Routine Maintenance.
Gravel Basin Based Systems DO NOT!
Routine pondless waterfall maintenance will keep your pondless waterfall clean, clear, and fresh. You will find that when you perform quick routine maintenance that you'll have a prettier pondless waterfall with much less algae and a much lower cost of ownership.
Routine pondless waterfall maintenance is much quicker to perform than "annual" cleanings. Compare pondless waterfall maintenance to lawn maintenance. You could mow your lawn once per year - you'll only have to mow it once - but it will be a huge job - and you'll have an unsightly lawn most of the year.
Routine pondless waterfall maintenance is like routine lawn care. If you mow it weekly, water it, and feed it - you'll have a nice looking lawn. This is the same as routine pondless waterfall maintenance.
