Aquascape constructed an 80-foot self-sustaining Pondless® Waterfall that replicates a watershed and can be replenished with rainwater that runs off the adjacent dining terrace into a series of 50-gallon rain barrels.
Three dramatic, weathered limestone waterfalls flow into a 3000-gallon underground reservoir. The 12-foot high self-sustaining water feature is situated on a slope angled toward Lake Michigan.
The reservoir at the bottom of the waterfall and stream helps to capture some of the stormwater run-off that would otherwise flow into the lake.
Tsurumi 9PL pumps push the stored water up and over the re-circulating waterfall, providing filtration, aeration and habitat, thereby improving water quality.
