Safe with kids and pets
All the sound. No open water.
The water falls into a hidden gravel basin, so there is nothing deep for little ones or dogs to wander into. The family dog in Raleigh loves this one.
What it is
A waterfall with the pond tucked underground
The water runs down the falls and disappears into a basin of gravel and reservoir blocks below grade. A pump sends it right back to the top. You get the sound and the movement with no standing water on the surface.
Because there are no fish and no open water, there is less to manage. No netting a big surface, no fish load to filter.
