You hear it from the back door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reservoir holds 335 litres beneath the gravel, which supports about 2.2 square metres of stream. That is the number that decides whether it suits your space, not the length in the name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLighting is included here and is not on the smaller kits, which is the other real difference. A white LED package picks out the drops after dark. The Deluxe option swaps it for colour-changing units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing the box does not contain: stone. Five metres wants close to 2.3 tonnes of rock, plus pebble on top. Budget for it separately and have it on site before you start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow a pondless waterfall actually works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a closed loop, half of it buried. The same water goes round and round. None of it ever sits in an open pond. This is the half that photographs never show you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:18px 0 0;border:1px solid #E6E6E6;border-radius:10px;padding:10px;background:#FFFFFF;\"\u003e\u003csvg style=\"width:100%;height:auto;display:block\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 760 392\" preserveaspectratio=\"xMidYMid meet\" role=\"img\" aria-labelledby=\"tmedium dmedium\"\u003e\n\u003ctitle id=\"tmedium\"\u003eCutaway of a pondless waterfall\u003c\/title\u003e\n\u003cdesc id=\"dmedium\"\u003eSide cut-away. A pump inside the buried vault (1) sends water up a hidden pipe to the spillway (2). It runs down the rock stream you build (3), then soaks through the gravel back into the 335 litre reservoir (4).

The water runs down a stream you build, soaks into gravel at the base, collects in a hidden tank underground, then gets pumped back to the top. You see and hear moving water with nothing standing open at ground level.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How much stream will 335 litres run?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"About 2.2 square metres. Aquascape's own formula asks for 154 litres of reservoir per square metre of stream. Build much beyond that and more water sits in the stream than the reservoir can give back, so the basin runs short on a hot or windy day.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How much rock will I need?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Rock and pebble are not included. Aquascape allows roughly 1.4 tonnes of rock and boulder per three metres of stream, so a five metre run needs somewhere near 2.3 tonnes, with pebble on top at around 30 per cent of that weight. Arrange it locally and have it on site before you begin.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Which pump option should I choose?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The fixed AquaSurge 15000 suits a build where the falls are set and you are happy with them. The adjustable 8,000 to 15,000 model lets you tune the flow after the rock is placed, which helps if you are shaping the falls by eye.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What does the Deluxe option add?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Colour-changing LED lighting in place of the white package, paired with the adjustable pump. Everything else in the kit is identical.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How deep do I need to dig?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"At least 650 mm at the basin, which is the height of the Pondless Waterfall Vault. The stream bed above it is shallow by comparison, following whatever fall you have.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Does it need power?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes. The pump runs on mains power and needs a weatherproof outdoor power point within reach of the basin. Have a licensed electrician install one if you do not already have it.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Can I install it myself?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Most people can.
