Marlin Series HydroPure™ Customizable Filtered Pondless System

Create a stunning, easy-maintenance backyard water feature with a customizable Marlin Series HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless System. This innovative pondless system features a 20" wide cascading waterfall flowing downward approximately 24", before disappearing through the advanced HydroSieve™ pre-filter into the underground HydroChamber™ water storage system.

HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems have a lower cost of ownership than rock and gravel basin pondless waterfalls

Marlin Series HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems professional pondless waterfall kits are designed for easy cleaning and long-term performance.  

  • ✔ No gravel pits
  • ✔ No messy cleanouts
  • ✔ No hidden maintenance problems 

Just clean, clear, beautiful water — made simple.

Instead of disappearing into a large rock-and-gravel reservoir, water flows through the HydroSieve™ pre-filter before entering the underground HydroChamber™ pump chamber and water storage tank.

And unlike many conventional pondless waterfall systems, filtration doesn't stop there.

Biologically Filtered Pondless Waterfall

Marlin Series HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems feature Marlin Hydro Vortex biological waterfall filters

 

Every customizable Marlin Series HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless System features a Marlin Hydro Vortex™ backwashable biological waterfall filter with 20" waterfall opening to continuously process the water as it circulates through your waterfall.

Cleaning the Marlin Hydro Vortex™ filter by backwashing is as easy as "turning two valves" and letting your pump do the work of rinsing the Hydro FilterSilk™ bio media for you.

The result is a pondless waterfall system designed from the beginning to be:

  • Easy to clean
  • Fully filtered
  • Modular and flexible
  • Smaller excavation - less digging!
  • Easy to maintain
  • Beautiful to own

The Reason for
Pre-Filtration + Biological Filtration

The wind blows dust, pollen, blossom, leaves, bird feathers, and dog hair into pondless water features

 

A pondless waterfall may not have a visible pond, but its water is still exposed to the environment.

Leaves, blossoms, dust, pollen, bird waste, animal debris and other organic material continually enter the water. Some debris can be physically captured. Other organic material remains suspended or dissolved in the circulating water.

Without proper filtration, that organic load can contribute to cloudy water, odors and algae growth.

That's why Marlin Series HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems provide filtration before and after the pump.

HydroSieve™ Pre-Filter

The HydroSieve™ pre-filter captures leaves, blossoms and other debris before it reaches the pump and water storage chamber.

Instead of allowing debris to become trapped deep inside a rock-and-gravel reservoir, collected debris can simply be removed from the HydroSieve™.

Marlin Hydro Vortex™ Backwashable Waterfall Filter

Diagram of how a Hydro Vortex filter functions and gets plumbed

The Marlin Hydro Vortex™ filter provides biological filtration to help process organic waste and nutrients in the circulating water.

It helps improve water clarity and quality while reducing the organic load available to feed algae.

Best of all, the Marlin Hydro Vortex™ filter is designed to be backwashed instead of torn apart for cleaning.

Choose manual backwashing or add the optional HydroFlush™ Backwash System for even easier routine maintenance.

Why Does a Pondless Waterfall
Need a Biological Filter?

A waterfall spillway is a water diffuser, not a water filter or biological filter

A waterfall spillway or a waterfall starter distributes water to create a waterfall.

It isn't a biological filter.

Dust, pollen, blossom, leaves, bird feathers, and animal fur all get windblown into all pondless waterfalls - the reason for the need for filtration on all pondless water features

 

Water circulating through a pondless waterfall continually collects environmental contaminants such as:

  • Dust and pollen
  • Bird and animal waste
  • Airborne organic material
  • Nutrients carried by rain and irrigation
  • Decaying plant material
HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems create beautiful waterfalls and clean water


Without Adequate Biological Filtration

Dissolved organic waste and nutrients continue circulating through the system and can contribute to algae growth, odors and reduced water clarity.

The Marlin Hydro Vortex™ gives your pondless waterfall a dedicated, easy-to-clean biological filtration stage.

Because cleaner water makes for a more beautiful waterfall.

Two Ways to Build a Pondless Waterfall

HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless System Water Storage
vs.
Rock, Gravel, Matrix Block Pondless Basin Water Storage
Comparison between rock and gravel pondless basin un-filtered water storage and HydroPure™ Filtered Water Storage
HydroPure™
Filtered Pondless System
Conventional Pondless
Rock & Gravel Basin
  • Requires a large, liner-lined excavation
  • Uses matrix blocks covered by rock and gravel to store water
  • Pump is located inside the basin under rock and gravel
  • Leaves, sediment, and organic debris can enter the water-storage area
  • Debris can accumulate within the rock, gravel and matrix blocks
  • Cleaning may require draining and flushing the basin
  • Larger excavation means more digging, liner, rock, and labor

The Difference

Instead of storing dirty water inside rock, gravel, and matrix blocks - HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems filter the water first—then store the filtered water in an accessible underground, combination pump chamber and water storage tank.

The differences between HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems and traditional rock and gravel basin pondless waterfalls

Conventional pondless waterfall reservoirs typically require a large excavation containing:

  • Multiple layers of underlayment
  • Rubber liner
  • Slotted pump vault
  • Water matrix blocks
  • Rock and gravel

The HydroChamber™ combines water storage, water filling, overflow outlet, and pump access into one compact underground tank.

That means the water reservoir can require a significantly smaller excavation with fewer components to install.

"Why dig a larger hole than you need to?"

Less excavation can mean less labor, less material handling and lower installation costs.

HydroPure™ Customizable Filtered Pondless Systems Feature ...
No Gravel-Filled Water Reservoir to Clean

HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems eliminate difficult to clean rock and gravel basins


Rock-and-gravel reservoirs collect leaves, seeds, blossoms and other organic debris carried into the system.

As that material works its way deeper into the reservoir, it can decompose and accumulate as organic sludge.

Cleaning it means hand-picking debris, draining the system and pressure-washing slime and algae from all the rock and gravel.

That is a big, messy, expensive job.

HydroPure™ Customizable Filtered Pondless Systems take a different approach.

The HydroSieve™ captures debris where you can easily reach it, while the HydroChamber™ provides water storage without requiring underlayment, liner, matrix blocks, a slotted pump vault, and hundreds of pounds of rock and gravel.

Routine maintenance is designed into the system from the beginning.

Put the Waterfall Where You Want the Waterfall

HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems let you design anything can imagine.

 

One of the biggest advantages of the HydroPure™ system is something you may never see:

The filtration equipment doesn't have to dictate the design of your waterfall.

The HydroSieve™ and HydroChamber™ are modular and can be installed together or independently.

Install them directly beside the waterfall, at the end of a stream—or remotely locate them elsewhere in the landscape. Standard 4″ PVC piping connects the components, allowing you to design:

Waterfall here.
Pre-filter there.
Water storage somewhere else entirely.

Landscaping, patios, walkways and other hardscaping can separate the components.

Instead of designing your landscape around a large rock and gravel reservoir, you have the freedom to design the waterfall around your landscape.

 

HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems give you more creative freedom



More Creative Freedom

HydroPure™ Customizable Filtered Pondless Systems give homeowners, landscape designers and professional installers more flexibility to create the water feature they actually want.

The waterfall and stream can become the visual centerpiece while the mechanical components are positioned where they are easiest to access and maintain.

That's particularly valuable when working with:

  • Patios and outdoor living spaces
  • Tight landscapes
  • Slopes and elevation changes
  • Existing landscaping
  • Difficult excavation areas
  • Locations where filtration equipment should remain out of sight

 

"Your filtration system should
accommodate your design ... not dictate it."

 

Before Buying Any Pondless Waterfall Kit or System, Ask One Question:

“How Do I Clean It?”

Before buying any brand of pondless waterfall kit or system - always ask "How do you clean it?"


Every pondless waterfall collects debris.

The important question isn't whether you'll eventually need to maintain it.

It's how easy that maintenance will be.

A system that costs less initially can become expensive to own if routine maintenance requires draining the reservoir, removing debris from rock and gravel, pressure washing, or hiring someone else to do the work.

HydroPure™ Customizable Filtered Pondless Systems are designed around a different philosophy:

Capture debris where it is easy to remove.
Filter the circulating water.
Make routine maintenance simple.

Lower Cost of Ownership

HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems have a lower cost of ownership than rock and gravel basin pondless waterfalls


Purchase price is only part of the cost of owning a pondless waterfall.

Installation labor and ongoing maintenance matter too.

HydroPure™ helps reduce those costs in two important ways:

Smaller Excavation

The HydroChamber™ eliminates the need for a large rock-and-gravel covered matrix block water storage basin, reducing excavation and material handling.

Simpler Routine Maintenance

The HydroSieve™ captures debris for easy removal, while the Marlin Hydro Vortex™ biological filter can be backwashed.

No routine gravel clean-outs.
No gravel replacement.
No tearing apart the biological filter.

That can make an easy-to-clean HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless System more affordable to own over time.

The Marlin Series HydroPure™ Difference

Marlin Series HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems components - Hydro Sieve pre-filter, Hydro Chamber, and Hydro Vortex backwashable waterfall filter

Every Marlin Series HydroPure™ Customizable Filtered Pondless System brings three professional filtration components together:

HydroSieve™ Pre-Filter
Captures leaves and organic debris before they reach the pump and water storage chamber.

HydroChamber™ Pump & Water Storage Tank
Provides compact underground water storage and pump access without a large rock and gravel-covered reservoir.

Marlin Hydro Vortex™ Backwashable Waterfall Filter
Provides dedicated biological filtration for cleaner, clearer water with easy routine maintenance.

Together, they create a complete pondless waterfall system designed around water quality, easy maintenance and creative freedom.

Marlin Series HydroPure™ Customizable Filtered Pondless Systems:
Designed for Beauty. Built for Routine Maintenance.

Marlin Series HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems save you money

"A pondless waterfall is only as beautiful ...
as it is maintainable."

With the Marlin Series HydroPure™ Customizable Filtered Pondless System, you get:

  • Unlimited design flexibility
  • Easy installation
  • Lower cost installation
  • Macro and micro filtration
  • Simple, quick and easy routine maintenance that eliminates annual draining and pressure washing

Customer photo review of Medium Pondless Waterfall Kit 20" Waterfalls with 20' Stream - Marlin Series Ultimate

Pamela was a huge help with pre-order sizing and instructing me via email/phone during the install when I had a few questions. I actually got a custom kit with a 40' liner and the larger SH-4020 pump. The install was pretty "by the book" per the install instructions she provided. I was able to complete the entire project by myself. Everything is working great. I am so glad I went with the Russell system rather than having to deal with cleaning out muck from rocks and matrix boxes. I just clean out the skimmer basket and backwash occasionally.

Customer video review of Small Pondless Waterfall Kit 16" Waterfalls

I chose the Ahi kit as it was the perfect size for our yard and the look we wanted with both a waterfall and small pond. Pamela at Russell Watergardens was incredibly helpful with my many questions before and after purchase. She was generous with her time and sent me videos/photos to give me ideas on fountains built by others so I could be confident about building our own. Russell Watergardens also has a wealth of information on their website and YouTube for “How to Build it,” Maintenance, and Tips. We are really pleased with the results and look forward to adding sod and a few native plantings to the surrounding area next spring. I highly recommend Russell Watergardens if you want the best DIY water feature.

I decided to get the pondless waterfall package because I wanted something that was all-in-one, provided a solution that was nearly maintenance free, and would not have standing water to attract bugs. Russell's was the only solution I found that met all my needs. I looked at countless other solutions and ultimately decided on this one. Things that especially stood out to me after the install was the quality of the product, the directions/support, as well as the fact that everything was included....even things such as foam and pvc glue.

Customer video review of Medium Pondless Waterfall Kit 20" Waterfalls with 20' Stream - Marlin Series Ultimate

I’ve wanted to build a water feature for years but the time or place was never right. In 2023 everything came together to finally do it. I had been emailing back-and-forth with Pam Russell for several years about my plans for a Pond less waterfall while doing a lot of research. I had settled on Russell Water Gardens to use as the backbone for my build. The combination of design, quality and outstanding customer service lead to that decision. During the pre-purchase planning and design phase, Pam was simply outstanding. I would have made a lot of mistakes without her guidance. She’s a very quick communicator, extremely knowledgeable about the products as well as about the design of waterfalls. I had a ton of questions and she never seemed to grow tired of them. Her knowledge and input into my design and purchase of materials was simply invaluable. She even helped navigate the somewhat tricky logistics for the delivery, which is more complicated than you might think when you don’t live in an urban area. Now to the products. My project was a rather ambitious DIY first time built I admit. It features two waterfall heads combining into a single stream about halfway down a 15 foot drop hill in my backyard. The total water course is about 45 feet long and 2 feet wide. Pam helped me determine the amount of water volume that it would have and the materials it would take. I ended up with two hydro sieves at the end collection point. These two sieves connected to three Hydro Chambers. I used the Hydro Vortex at the top. With the length and and flow rate that, I wanted, I chose one of the larger external, 1350 gps extern pumps. She helped me with the planning and where to pomace the pump accommodate the head and flow characteristics to give me a good amount of water volume. Working alone, the project was definitely hard work, but was a labor of love and a dream come true for me. We have yet to finish the plantings around the waterfall, but are enjoying it nonetheless. I can’t recommend Russell Watergardens highly enough, and specificially Pam as an invaluable resource.

Customer video review of Marlin Series Ultimate Medium Pondless Waterfall with 20' Stream Kit

After researching different types of water features i choose the Russell water garden for the low maintenance and the easiness of installation. I replaced a small fountain in my back yard with a 5’ wide by 20’ long water fall and stream. The standing water in my fountain needed cleaned and replaced frequently which took time. With the hydro tanks large water capacity and ease of refilling(i choose the manual fill system) over auto fill since my hose bib was not in a convenient location, simply lift the lid and add water with hose. The pre filter leading to hydro tank is the key! It allows you to quickly and easily remove all debris from system before it goes into hydro chamber where pump is located. This was the biggest problem with my fountain pump. Every week or two i would have to disassemble clean the gunk around inlet of pump(water would actually quit flowing ) and reassemble, alot of work. With the pre filter basket all debris is captured before getting to pump, just as described in the video. In addition Pamela Russell was always available by email or phone, (email worked best ) to answer my questions as i was installing my water feature. It is now the center piece of our backyard adding both value and charm with many years of enjoyment to come. I would highly recommend! Dave W Venetia Pa

Customer photo review of Marlin Series Ultimate Medium Pondless Waterfall with 20' Stream Kit

My husband decided he wanted a waterfall on our hillside which is located next to our home. I had zero knowledge but tried for weeks to figure it out by myself via reading blogs and watching youtube videos. Then I discovered Russell Watergardens. I called Pamela and had many conversations leading me to decide her brand was the best choice. I told her that I wanted the falls to be easy to maintain, variable in flow & sound, and easy to install. She assembled a custom kit for me which included 2 pumps. I could run 1 or the other or both in order to be quiet at night or loud while entertaining. I ended up hiring an experienced 2 man crew to install the waterfall… and I’m so glad I did! The rocks were heavy and the ground needed to be jackhammered in order to get the holding tank & filter system into the ground. All of our visitors love the relaxing sound of our waterfall, as do we. A big thanks to Pamela Russell for her guidance!

Marlin Series Ultimate Medium Pondless Waterfall with 20' Stream Kit

Customer video review of Dolphin Series Ultimate Large Pondless Waterfall Kit

It took us several years of planning to get to the point of ordering materials to build the waterfall. We were dealing with soft sand on the hill and were concerned about how we were going to keep the hill secure and not wash away. We got the materials to make the waterfall and it took my husband several weekends to get the work done as he was working by himself. He did get help with the pond liner, but other than that, he was able to install the 2 large units, top of the waterfall and at the bottom, but it wasn't without a lot of muscle and reading the directions over and over. The only thing we would suggest is to make the directions easier to understand with pictures of the different parts and connections easier to see in the pictures. We finally hired a professional landscape person to come and do the rocks for us as we were frustrated with how to place them properly to look natural. We needed to order larger rocks to make the pond look better. The waterfall is not complete yet. We need to put in more river rock and plant trees and bushes alongside the waterfall. We have a lot of deer with sharp hoofs that have been walking through the riverbed and we are concerned they will puncture holes in the liner, but we will know better this spring when we start the waterfall again. In the picture, you see koi fish, but that was a very temporary thing as a friend wanted to see how his fish would do in the stream. They looked beautiful swimming in the riverbed, but the water was not deep enough for them. Also, we have critters that got a few of them overnight so we knew that having koi was not a practical thing to do! But, all in all, we are VERY happy with the equipment that we received because it can handle a lot of water making the waterfall flow so well and it sounds wonderful. If we were to do it again, we would definitely order from you again.

Small Pond Skimmer - Seagull HydroClean™

Russell Watergardens put together a pondless waterfall “kit” for us that I installed this past Summer (2017). I did 100% of the installation. The project was hard work, but it was also fun. The instructions were very clear and thorough. I was missing a couple of parts, which were immediately sent to me upon my request. Soon after starting the pump it quit working due to a broken cover. A replacement part was promptly sent to me. The system has now been operational for three months. I have had no problems whatsoever. I am amazed that I have not had to add any water since starting the system. The hydro chamber more than adequate capacity. I have a heavy duty timer so the pump runs only during daylight hours. The filter system is very efficient. Leaves that have collected this fall were many. Nevertheless the Sieve also has substantial capacity. The water flow had been unaffected. All in all this is a very fine product and working with Russell Watergardens has been a great experience. We placed our waterfall on the corner of the lot where anyone driving or walking by can enjoy it. We have made our neighbors very happy. Thank you Russell Watergardens for great products and service.

Pam, Thank you for the recommendation of the new HBV filter. My koi pond is 3000 gallons and holds right now 19 good size Koi. July is always a difficult month to maintain water clarity. Overnight the results I saw were amazing. The water is so clear that I can now see each grain of sand and wrinkle in the liner to the 4.5 foot depth of the pond. I am still getting us to the process of backflushing but it is pretty easy. The pond has never looked better!
