Waterfall Pumps

 

 

Waterfall Pump Sizing And Water Volume
The volume of water pouring down your waterfall spillway is very important. A big flowing falls looks fantastic, but if you use too much water it can get noisy and take far too much power to run.

For example, If you have a waterfall that is 2 Ft. wide and you want the water to be 1/4" thick the chart calls for a fall pump that can produce 780 Gallons Per Hour.
