Homemade Waterfall Weir | Homesteady
After the water receptacle is built, place the submersible waterfall and filter pump into the receptacle and connect the plug end to an outlet. (Be certain the pump is equipped with a ground fault interrupter [GFI] safety switch.) This will function as the weir; place the weir on a large "spillway stone" tipped slightly forward. Attach the hose to the weir using an adapter.
Attach the flexible tubing to the other end of the pump, where water will be removed from the receptacle. Attach the tubing so it is as unobtrusive as possible, behind or inside the objects or rocks the waterfall will be cascading over. The less noticeable the piping, the more realistic the waterfall. Secure the tubing and be sure the water receptacle is securely in place.
