Dolphin Series Ultimate Large Pondless Waterfall Kits come complete with choice of pump - submersible or external, an easy to clean pre-filter, easy to clean backwashable waterfall filter, and easy access pump vault for the absolute cleanest pondless water feature possible! Providing you with the lowest pondless waterfall maintenance and the most pondless design options for your creative freedom.
The HydroChamber™ combination pump vault/water storage tank, and HydroSieve™ compact pre-filter are each modular with remote installation capabilities. You have complete creative design control of where you want your pondless water storage reservoir and your easy to clean pre-filter.
If you choose, they can be at the base of your pondless waterfall. The most creative place to put your water storage and pre-filter is completely away from your pondless waterfalls.
Typical diy pondless waterfall kits use a rock and gravel filled reservoir basin for pre-filtering debris from the water - but how do you clean the gravel? BY HAND! Who would want to do that?
Many discount pondless waterfall kits don't include a biological filter for processing dissolved organics from the water - so guess what .... those cheap pondless waterfall kits grow excessive algae!
A few diy pondless waterfall kits do include a biological filter - but it isn't backwashable. Once again - how do you clean it? The only answer is BY HAND!!! Click this link to see photos of how to clean a non-backwashable waterfall filter
The HydroChamber™, HydroSieve™-PF pondless pre-filter, and Dolphin Hydro Vortex™ backwashable waterfall filter work together to provide you with the “Ultimate” pondless waterfall kit. Ultimate pondless waterfall kits are EASY TO CLEAN! A clean pondless waterfall is simply more beautiful.
Why is a Dolphin Hydro Vortex™ Backwashable Waterfall Filter Included
With Each Ultimate Large Pondless Waterfall Kit?
-
Dust, pollen, bird waste, frog waste, nitrogen, acid rain, airborne pollutants, and phosphates not biologically processed out of pondless waterfalls feed algae
- Just like ponds, the water in pondless water features trap all sorts of wind-blown, rain-dropped, or irrigated dissolved organic debris
- Waterfall weirs or waterfall starters in conventional pondless waterfall kits DO NOT process dissolved organics out of the water
- Dissolved organics not processed by a backwashable waterfall filter simply recirculate through the pondless water feature .... but what happens to these dissolved organics?
- Unprocessed dissolved organics feed algae!
The Dolphin Hydro Vortex™ waterfall filter will biologically process dissolved organics out of your pondless waterfall . It will also drastically improve water clarity, quality, and remove odors. The Dolphin Hydro Vortex™ filter is also easy to clean. You have your choice of manual backwash, or HydroFlush™ with your Ultimate large pondless waterfall kit.
Remember:
A pondless waterfall will become only as beautiful as it can be maintained.
Dolphin Series Ultimate Large Pondless Waterfall Kits are Easy to Clean, Modular and Flexible
Dolphin Series large pondless waterfall kits all come with a HydroSieve™ pre-filter and a HydroChamber™ "all-in-one" pump vault and water storage tank. These two units replace the large rock and gravel pondless waterfall basins of common diy pondless waterfall kits. The HydroSieve™ traps debris for easy removal, and the HydroChamber™ replaces basin underlayment, basin liner, a slotted pump vault, two water matrix blocks such as Eco Blox or Aqua Blox, and hundreds of pounds of rock and gravel.
As you can see from this photo, both units are modular. This lets you install them together ..... or apart from each other. You can have them at the base of your large pondless waterfalls, or moved away. They simply connect to standard 4" PVC or ABS piping with rubber couplers. No other large pondless waterfall kit offers this kind of flexibility.
Unlimited Large Pondless Waterfall Creative Design Options
Ultimate large pondless stream kits are designed to give the designer more installation options, and for the end-user to be able to easily clean and maintain themselves. Ultimate pondless waterfall kits give installers more creative design options: Design the waterfalls in one section of the landscape, remotely install the HydroSieve™-PF pre-filter in another location, and remotely install the HydroChamber™ water storage tank in yet another location - with any type of landscaping or hardscaping in between.
Ultimate Large Pondless Waterfalls are
Easy to Clean!
Each and every Ultimate large pondless waterfall kit comes with a HydroSieve™ pre-filter that captures debris. Rock and gravel in common pondless waterfall kit reservoirs is NOT an easy to clean pre-filter!
Before buying any pondless waterfall kit
you should ALWAYS ask ....
"How do I clean it?"
After all, it's your pondless waterfall and you'll have to clean it yourself ... or pay someone a lot of money to clean it for you! You'll need to add the cost of cleaning to the price of difficult to clean low cost gravel pit/matrix pondless waterfall kits. Our Ultimate pondless waterfall kits are easy to clean and provide you a much better value for your money.
Ultimate Large Pondless Waterfall Kits Save You Money
Over Cheap Price Pondless Waterfall Kits!
You Get What You Pay For - We're Just Say'in ...
Common pondless waterfall reservoir basins consist of a slotted pump vault, multiple water storage matrix blocks, liner, underlayment, rock, and gravel.
Look at this photo group of pondless waterfall kits. These are all deeply discounted pondless waterfall kits found all over the internet. They all compete with each other on price because that is the only thing they have to offer - a cheap purchase price. None of these common cheap pondless waterfall kits come with a pre-filter to trap debris for easy removal. They don't come with a backwashable waterfall filter to process dissolved organics. They don't come with an "All-in-One" pump chamber that is both a pump vault and water storage tank. Most don't even provide you with a choice of pump!
The HydroSieve™ and HydroChamber™ included with every Ultimate pondless water kit replaces all the items listed below in a much smaller space. A smaller pondless waterfall basin requires less digging labor, saving you installation time and money.
The HydroChamber™ is a BETTER VALUE!
With the "all-in-one" pump vault and water storage tank configuration of the HydroChamber™ included with every Ultimate pondless waterfall kit, the excavation can be significantly smaller than common pondless waterfall reservoir basins. This saves you money in labor costs! Why dig a hole bigger than you need to?
What You Get With Rock and Gravel Pit Based Pondless Waterfall Kits
- A large excavation filled with underlayment, rubber liner, a slotted pump vault, multiple water matrix blocks such as Eco Blox or Aqua Blox, plus hundreds of pounds of rock and gravel for the water storage reservoir basin
- Debris such as leaves, blossoms, weed seeds, tree seeds, dead worms, dead insects, bird feathers, pet hair, and other organic debris will get trapped into the rock and gravel basin
- The force of the waterfall will push that debris deeper and deeper into the rock and gravel basin
-
The debris will break down and decay
- Decayed organic debris turns into sludge
- Sludge turns the water brown
- Sludge smells like rotten eggs
- Dust, pollen, bird waste, phosphorus and other dissolved organics will remain in the water - think about this: what ever you see on your car before a wash also gets into your pondless waterfall
- Dissolved organics and sludge WILL FEED ALGAE
- Potentially unhealthy water conditions for children, pets, and wildlife
- Rock and gravel reservoir basin based pondless waterfalls become an algae eyesore and a maintenance nightmare
Buyer beware! You get what you pay for.
There is a reason why every single gravel covered pondless waterfall basin based
pondless waterfall kit manufacturer
DOES NOT provide you with "how to clean it" information.
Their gravel covered pondless waterfall basins
simply can NOT be cleaned!

You can also install the components together if you so choose.
Ultimate Large Pondless Waterfall Kits
Provide You With Complete Creative Design Freedom
Why would you settle for a conventional pondless waterfall kit that requires a bigger basin excavation, is impossible to clean, and that offers you no design options?
With all conventional gravel pit based pondless waterfall kits - no matter the brand - you will always have a large gravel filled water storage basin. That algae growing gravel filled water storage basin must always be at the base of the waterfall - it simply can not be located anywhere else! All conventional pondless waterfall kits provide you with no alternative design options. Some come with biological filters - the super inexpensive (i.e. cheap) ones don't. They all require a gravel filled water storage basin with or without water matrix blocks. They all use rock as the prefilter. They all grow algae like crazy.
Why would you settle for a conventional gravel pit based pondless waterfall kit?
The Ultimate Large Pondless Waterfall Kit is Different … to be Better
When your Ultimate large pondless waterfall with stream kit is ON and running, water is pumped out of the HydroChamber™. Water is pumped into the vortex section of the patented Dolphin Hydro Vortex™ waterfall filter. The water then rises up through the media chamber containing Hydro FilterSilk™ bio media. The bio media “polishes” the water while biologically processing dissolved organics from the water.
The water then exits the waterfall opening at the top of the Dolphin Hydro Vortex™ waterfall filter. Rubber liner is attached to the filter with a water tight liner gasket flange. Water cascades over the boulders or cut stone to create the waterfalls.
After the waterfalls the water then “disappears” into a 4″ pipe hidden within boulders, or directly into the inlet pipe of HydroSieve™-PF pre-filter. The stainless steel sieve filter inside the HydroSieve™ stains debris from the water. Strained water then passes out of the bottom of the HydroSieve™-PF pre-filter back into the HydroChamber™ to repeat the process.
When the medium pondless waterfall kit is in the OFF mode the water is stored inside the HydroChamber™. Because of the check valve, the Marlin Hydro Vortex filter remains full of water as well.
In the OFF mode, the medium pondless waterfall kit has no visible, or standing water. This is where the term “pondless” comes from.
For winterizing the large pondless waterfall kit, simply open the drain valve that is included with the Dolphin Hydro Vortex™ filter while the pump is running. The pump will pump all the water out of the tank and out the filter’s drain pipe. If using a submersible pump, simply open the cam lock assembly of the check valve and remove the pump from the HydroChamber™. If using an external pump, open the primer pot and volute drains to purge water. In both cases, leave the Dolphin Hydro Vortex™ filter drain valve open to purge rainwater or snow melt.
You have your choice of backwashing methods of the patented Dolphin Hydro Vortex™ waterfall filter included with your large pondless waterfall kit.
- Manual Backwash
- HydroFlush™ Patented Backwash System
Either way, it is SUPER easy!
To manually backwash the Dolphin Hydro Vortex™ waterfall filter:
- 1. Turn your pump off
- 2. Open the filter drain valve and let the filter completely drain
- 3. Using a garden hose, flush water down through the top of the filter
- 4. When the water exiting the drain runs clear – you’re done!
- 5. Close the filter drain
- 6. Turn your pump back on
Please note, you will need to replace the water that was drained from the filter during backwashing. If you have an Auto Fill Valve Kit installed inside the HydroChamber™, it will do it for you. If you don’t, simply add water with a hose while your pump is running. Fill the water up to the Auto Fill Valve port inside the HydroChamber™.
HydroFlush™ Self Cleaning Backwash System
The absolute EASIEST way to backwash and clean the
Dolphin Hydro Vortex waterfall filter!
To HydroFlush™ Your Hydro Vortex™ Filter:
- 1. Turn your pump off
- 2. Open the filter drain valve and let the filter completely drain
- 3. Turn the HydroFlush™ valve to the backwash position
- 4. Turn your pump back on (water will shoot upwards then fall back down into and through the filter)
- 5. When the water exiting the drain runs clear – your done!
- 6. Close the filter drain valve
- 7. Return the HydroFlush™ valve to the filter position
As noted above with the manual backwash, you will need to replace the water that was drained from the filter during backwashing. If you have an Auto Fill Valve Kit, it will do it for you. If you don’t, simply add water with a hose while your pump is running. Fill the water up to the Auto Fill Valve port inside the HydroChamber™.
Dolphin Series Ultimate Large Pondless Waterfall Kit Features Easy to Clean Pre and Post Filtration
A pondless waterfall is only as beautiful as it can be maintained. The biggest complaint people have with all brands of conventional pondless waterfall kits is ALGAE! Conventional pondless waterfall kits use river rock and gravel as the prefilter, and do not have adequate water filtering. If you can't remove debris from the gravel, is starts to rot, stink, and of course ..... feed algae!
A difficult, or impossible to clean pondless waterfall doesn’t get cleaned as it should. A dirty pondless waterfall grows excessive algae, with foul and malodorous water that can be unhealthy for children, pets, and wildlife.
A pondless waterfall that is easy to clean, will encourage you to clean it more often. A clean pondless waterfall stays algae free, clean, fresh and safe for children, pets, and wildlife.
