How to install a waterfall in 2 hours & 20 minutes steps 7-14

What happens here

Begin by preparing the pump, which is an asynchronous mag-drive pump included in the kit. Attach a threaded fitting to the pump, which will connect to the waterfall spillway. This setup is performed inside the pre-dug basin, allowing for easy access before subsequent layers are added. The overall design principles for a natural-looking waterfall are also discussed, emphasizing how water naturally carves through the landscape, exposing stones. Typically, larger boulders are placed on the perimeter, and smaller ones are used in the middle to create cascading effects. This initial pump setup enables the team to work outwards from the reservoir, simplifying later stages of the construction.

Goal: Prepare the pump and reservoir for the waterfall flow

Tools and materials

  • Asynchronous Mag-Drive Pump Aquascape — Pumping water for the waterfall
  • Pump Cover / Reservoir Base Aquascape — Housing the pump and forming the base of the reservoir
  • Threaded Fitting — Connecting the pump to the spillway

this the next step until you probably don't know this but well it's trying to work through the creative vision looking at the rocks I'm gonna go ahead and get this pump hooked up so that when he sets his waterfall stone I can work out and kind of finish off the reservoir and not have to try and access that pump after I've already finished what goes over the black plastic okay so it comes with a couple of fittings but this is a fitting that's going to screw into the inside portion of that bulkhead fitting okay so the two inch threads are gonna thread into here now this we do not need to apply silicone guys because it's an inside so that birds under there and you're creating a shelf up there I am so I'm just coming in we had the big pile of soil tim has compacted it now I'm coming in I'm starting to carve into that a little bit what we're trying to do with a waterfall is we're making like a little bit of a Cove area so that's exactly how it works in nature so in nature you're gonna have water is gonna carve its way through exposing all that stone so you typically have some larger boulders on the outside perimeter and then smaller in the middle where that water is kind of cascading so the corner is a natural place to do that if we were to do it on this flat part it becomes more difficult Plus now I have to put my boulders way over and on the sides and it kind of changes the dynamics if you put it right here we're gonna have a frame rock that's going to be next to the waterfall right here you could make it more difficult before access to your pump now with this type of a pump this is very forgiving so this is an asynchronous style mag drive pump we could turn that on and I could let I could let it run here in our warehouse which we've done literally for over a month all dry outside of the water really wrong completely different Stein that's a rec drive pump that has a little bit more horsepower solids handling they're a little bit more picky so that would that's the one that comes with the dead [Music] we like bomb proof okay so what are we
