Waterfall photos PLEASE

[pond_nut]

Please submit photos of just the waterfall portion of your pond, so we can all share ideas and help others who aren't sure how they want their waterfalls to look, yet (like me ).

Can't wait to see everyone's falls!

This simple little falls rolls off clean since it has a rubber liner over hanging the front lip. It only takes 1/2" or more of rubber, and the water glides off crystal clear and smooth... I can run as little a 1000 gph or as much as 5000 gph...
And, when entering the water, it slices the surface, leaving almost no ripples, yet air bubbles seem to rise to the surface from the deep like a curtain...

In this picture, you can see the above waterfall placed towards the right...
Notice - NO RIPPLES... Able to view the fish much easier this way... 5200 gallons of crystal viewing...

This was my pond and waterfall when I lived in ATL. It was all stone, but not designed as a Koi pond. I retriofitted it with bead, UV, etc, but when we moved to Raleigh, I took the oportunity to start from scratch.

Same waterfall in January!!!.

VERY nice falls! I take it you net that all off in the fall?

[ponderingkoi]

Well, I just had it installed last Fall and didn't...but will be this year! Hopefully the leaves will come down fast...just hate the look of nets over ponds. Didn't have any fish in it last Fall...still don't. Hope to get the first batch in there this next week. They've been in QT for almost a month. I am hoping the Forsythia flowers fall off all together away from the stream in the next day or two. Ponderingkoi

All of the waterfalls are great! Does anyone have a picture of how the return pipe enters into the top of the waterfall? Just designing my waterfall now and not sure if the return should come up from underneath or just spilled out at an angle from the top. Thx!

Here's ours so far.

Nevadakoi,
Just took this photo, sorry it's getting alittle dark...but I think you can see how my return pipe enters the top of the waterfall. You can't see it standing there..but if you get down to peer in, you'll see this shot. You can fiddle with the rocks, but you want to 'hide' the pipe from direct view and still direct the waterflow where you want it to go. Hope this helps. Ponderingkoi

PS...I'll try to get a better shot tomorrow. I have two return pipes there, you can see the one on the right. Ponderingkoi

OK, here's another shot of the top of the waterfall (yes, it's pouring here, no end in sight). At least the forsythia flowers are mostly falling outside of the stream. Ponderingkoi

[Dillon]

How do you keep your forsythia's under control? Do plan on cutting them back all the way back every few years?

[ponderingkoi]

We keep most of the shrubs and trees trimmed around here, but I don't cut them all the way back. Only one is kinda over the stream and my skimmer is collecting those. These are only a couple of years old. Ponderingkoi

[Dillon]

I like forsythia - great shelter for birds when they get mature. I guess if you keep on top of it it won't "eat" your stream

Beautiful pond, view and grounds! I love what you have done with the stonework around the pond.

[ponderingkoi]

Thanks Dillon! It's new and I'm still planting it and tweaking it, but I love doing it. It's my first pond. Ponderingkoi
