FAQs
Can I connect multiple Rockways units together?
Yes, the units are designed to be modular. You can overlap them to create a longer, cascading stream effect.
Which pump size is compatible with this unit?
The unit supports 25mm, 32mm, and 38mm pipes. Your pump should be chosen based on the desired flow rate and the total head height of your waterfall.
Is the material safe for fish and wildlife?
Yes, the materials used are inert and safe for pond ecosystems when installed correctly.
Will the green color fade in the sun?
The unit is treated with a fade-resistant finish specifically designed to withstand UV rays and maintain its color in outdoor conditions.
Can I use this without a liner?
While the unit holds water, it is recommended to use it in conjunction with a pond liner beneath the entire watercourse to catch any potential overspill or seepage.
How do I winterize the waterfall?
Clear debris from the unit and, in areas with heavy frost, disconnect the pump and ensure water does not collect in the plumbing lines where it could expand and cause damage.
Troubleshooting
Water is flowing off to one side rather than an even sheet.
Check the level of the unit using a spirit level. Adjust the base by adding or removing sand until the unit sits perfectly horizontal.
Leakage at the hose connection point.
Ensure the stepped hose adaptor is securely tightened and that the correct hose diameter is being used with the corresponding section of the adaptor.
Visible gaps between the waterfall and the surrounding soil.
Use decorative gravel, larger river stones, or pond edging plants to disguise the edges and create a natural aesthetic transition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, clear a path along the desired waterfall route and ensure the ground is compacted to prevent sinking. Use the included stepped hose adaptor to connect your pump's outlet pipe to the underside knock-out of the unit. We recommend testing the water flow before finalizing any rocks or stone borders around the unit.
For ongoing care, keep the waterfall clear of large debris such as heavy leaf litter, which can divert or block the water flow. If the unit becomes covered in unwanted buildup, it can be gently scrubbed with a soft brush and water; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the fade-resistant finish. During the winter, if you live in an area prone to deep freezing, it is advisable to drain the water from the hose to prevent pressure buildup within the plumbing connections.
