Formal spillways create a clean sheet of water from a wall, bowl or hardscape feature. Options include stainless steel and copper-finish spillways, lighted Colorfalls, copper bowls, bronze wall spouts and complete formal spillway basin kits.

Spillway width and the height of the drop set the flow you need. Check the manufacturer's recommended GPH for each width before choosing a pump. Questions on sizing? Call Mystic Koi & Water Gardens in Upland, CA at (909) 920-3767 and talk to people who build and keep ponds every day.
