Anyone have experience with this topic


They made one a while ago on one of those home restoration in under a week
type of shows. They put a small preformed pond in the ground, filled it with
gravel and ran the water fall into that with the pump buried in the gravel
somewhere.

My only concern is depending on hw it's designed, it might only work well
when new, in a few months or years it might be unfunctional.

Some things to consider.
1: algae and moss. Unless chlorine tablets are regularly used the water
feature would quickly turn into a green algae pit.
2: how do you clean it? moss/algae and dirt and leaves that build up in the
gravel over time.
3: routine maintenance? Clearing the pump intake? Replacing the pump?
