The fact is, it's pretty common to run into people who aren't totally sold on the idea of a pond, yet still want a backyard waterfall. That's where the pondless waterfall comes into play.

The greatest benefits of pondless waterfalls are little to no maintenance because there is no skimmer or fish to take care of. The water level can fluctuate greatly between fillings and it can even be turned off when not being enjoyed. This is "the answer" for those who don't want to get into the hobby of water gardening, but still want the meditative qualities of listening to the soothing sounds created by falling water.
