It is OK This waterfall box has its connection to hoses on the back and not visible in the photograph. Provided are the gaskets and connector, which permit connecting one of several hose sizes to it. The 2000 in its name is its Gallons per Hour rating. It makes for a good looking waterfall connected to a 1500 GPH pump; well at least better than the homemade waterfall it replaced. Within the instructions is a warning that in cold winter areas, where things freeze, this waterfall box and the hose connected to it need to be dry, which in my case will mean storing it away during the winter.The instructions state that it is strong enough to be buried, and support a covering rock. I choose to neither bury it or put weight on it. I did not want to dig it out before winter, and looking at it, my opinion is that the rock would need to be very light, such as a flagstone, maybe. Instead, I set rocks around it, that support the heavier rock covering it.The instructions also indicate that there are multiple variations of this waterfall box available, some rated for 1000 GPH, and others that include filtering materials.Next year, when I put it back in service, I am going to put a little gravel under it, so as to make it easier to level.
Great item for the money I looked everywhere for a waterfall weir that was cost effective and settled on this one. I was not disappointed.At the bottom of the back of the “bucket” is a connection for your hose that is coming from your pump. The weir fills with water and nicely flows off the shelf onto the top tier of your waterfall. Without a weir, you will not get a “pretty,” even flow over the top ledge. I attached the weir to the flagstone via Quikcrete Hydraulic Stop-Loss. You could also use expanding landscaping foam, but I have found that difficult to work with in my limited experience.It does not have a cover for the “bucket” area, but I just placed a piece of tile over it to prevent debris from falling in it.I don’t have fish, so I wasn’t worried about filtering capabilities. This doesn’t have any, and I think that’s what you may gain from other more expensive weirs.
Works exactly as it should, great price This does a wonderful job with a 1500 gph pump and would likely work quite well with a slightly smaller pump. I had read somewhere that it takes about 150 gph per inch of waterfall for a good waterfall and this one at 11+ inches proves that rule-of-thumb. I have a very slight drip where the gasket joins the back of the box but, hey, this is a water feature and the little drip won’t harm a thing. The fitting at the back of the box accommodates 4 sizes of hose so it’ll likely work for you no matter what kind of pump you’re using. It was a great price at about $40 delivered.
