Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this product come with a pump?

No, the Rockways Aber Falls Step Cascade does not include a pump. You will need to purchase a pump appropriate for the flow rate you desire.

Can this be used for a pondless waterfall?

Yes, this is perfectly suited for pondless setups where the water drains into a concealed reservoir.

Is the green tint permanent?

The algae tint is part of the aesthetic finish designed to replicate natural stone; it is durable but may naturally weather over time.

Can I install this by myself?

While one person can manage the plumbing, the unit is durable and potentially heavy, so having a second person for positioning and leveling is recommended.

What type of hose do I need?

The unit is designed to work with standard flexible pond hose; check the specific diameter required for your pump's outlet.

Will the color fade in direct sunlight?

The materials are chosen for outdoor durability; however, some natural fading may occur over many years of intense UV exposure.

Troubleshooting

Water is not flowing evenly across the cascade.

Check if the unit is level. Use shims or sand beneath the base to adjust the tilt until the water flows symmetrically.

Water is splashing outside the waterfall area.

Adjust the water flow rate on your pump; if the pump is too powerful, it can cause splashing. You may also need to adjust the angle of the cascade.

The hose connector is leaking.

Ensure the hose is pushed fully onto the fitting and secure it with a stainless steel hose clamp to prevent slippage and leaks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Realistic, high-quality stone appearance
Easy to integrate into existing pond or pondless systems
Sturdy, weather-resistant build material
Ready-to-use with included hose connector

Cons

Color and texture may vary due to the handcrafted nature
Requires a separate pump and reservoir to function
Heavy weight may require multiple people for safe placement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin your setup, select a sturdy, level base to prevent shifting over time. Connect your chosen flexible pond hose to the integrated fitting provided with the unit, ensuring a tight seal with a hose clip. If building a pondless feature, ensure your reservoir or sump is large enough to contain sufficient water to keep the pump fully submerged. For care and maintenance, periodically clear the surface of leaves or debris to maintain the integrity of the water flow. During extreme winter conditions, it is recommended to drain the system and protect the unit if temperatures drop significantly below freezing, as trapped water can expand and potentially damage the material.
