Formal Falls Basin Kits

PondBuilder offers three sizes of Formal Falls Basin kits

Formal Falls Basins can be sunk in-ground or used above grade
NO Winterizing needed. In the spring simply drain and add fresh water. The basin come equipped with dual pump access (left or right side) through a stainless steel access panel located just under the splash mat. Additionally, if you are looking to install our Elite AutoFill Valve to maintain the water level or to reduce manual filling, a pre-installed spinweld located on both the left and right makes installation fast and easy.

Custom basins kits using EPDM Liner to build higher water falls

Each size Formal Falls has it's limitations depending on installation specifications. For falls heights greater than 24" high, we recommend a Custom Basin Package. Select from the sizes below:

16" Small Falls w/ Custom Basin

28" Medium Falls w/ Custom Basin

40" Large Falls w/ Custom Basin

40" Large Falls w/ Std. Basin
(Not Recommended due to splash)

Specifications:

Each Formal Falls requires a particular flow rate to achieve the level of performance detailed by the illustrations and guide.

For complete Formal Falls kits the maximum height of falls is 24" to ensure the majority of the water remains in the basin.

Please note, for custom applications where the Formal Falls will be used outside of the standard kits, you will need to provide accurate information pertaining to the install to your supplier. Overall heights desired, proximity of the pump to the Formal Falls, and plumbing schematics covering all connections and sizing between the pump and the Formal Falls unit. Providing detailed drawings and specifications will ensure proper performance resulting in ideal flow rates through the Formal Falls.
