How It Works
The Formal Falls® basin protects the pump and plumbing assembly while decorative stones disguise the molded basin and flex hose.
The pump moves water through the flex hose and into a Formal Falls® stainless weir. From there, the waterfall cascades into the basin and the cycle repeats continuously.
Why Choose Formal Falls®
- Stainless steel construction
- Full top support for stacked block

- Self-draining design prevents winter cracking
- Pump easily accessed inside basin
- Large opening for thick, showy water flow
Beware of Cheap Imitations
- Acrylic can crack in winter if not winterized
- Water flow can split if debris lodges inside
