A waterfall design which allows for a small pooling effect at the end of a backyard stream.

Garden Waterfalls

A Vanishing Water™ system allows all water to disappear from the surface when the pump is turned off, keeping it out of sight in an underground filter system. Without a pump running, there isn't any surface water, and therefore no water is lost to evaporation. There is never a string algae problem since algae is killed every time the system is turned off.

Also see our installation guide for how to build backyard waterfalls with a stream.

A larger pooling effect that will completely vanish when your garden waterfall or garden stream is turned off.

Bubbling Rocks

Our easy-to-build bubbling rock kits include most everything you need (except for the rock) to create sturdy bubbling rock water feature of any size that will provide years of trouble-free enjoyment. The high-strength Filter Tank is located outside the liner of the water feature to allow easy access to the filters, pump and other hardware and to allow an optional vanishing pool at the base of the column(s). All surface water disappears into the filter tank when the pump is turned off.

Pond with a Waterfall

If you enjoy water gardening, perhaps a pond with a waterfall should be considered. This style of water feature can support all aspects of water gardening including floating water-plants and fish since the pond is always full never vanishes even when the system is turned off. As with all Filtrific based systems you have the freedom to place the Filter Tank away from the water feature as best suits the landscape. With only the access cap showing, its small footprint is easily disguised and allows for a more visually appealing waterscape.

Long Waterfall and Stream with a Small Pond

If you want a little bit of pond and a lot of stream then the Filtrific Hybri-Pond type of installation is the way to go. With this system the stream appears when the stream pump is turned on and disappears underground when the pump is turned off. All stream water is captured underground so the pond does not overflow. This allows a smaller and more easily maintainable pond installation as well as a more energy efficient installation. Enjoy significant electrical savings by turning the larger waterfall pump off when you are not there while keeping the much smaller circulation pump running to maintain water quality in the remaining pond.

Concrete Water Features, Architectural Features and Landscape Fountains

If you have a formal landscape design, consider an elevated or ground level concrete water feature. This can add the perfect accent to a courtyard, entryway or add a classic focal point to the open landscape. Many creative aspects can be incorporated including landscape fountains, water sculptures, or reflecting pools. The Filtrific System simplifies the installation by combining pump, auto-fill, overflow and low water controls all in one convenient location, next to or away from the water feature.

Filtrific also offers a simple, yet effective concrete waterstop solution for pools and concrete fountains.
