EasyPro Vianti Falls Spillway

Yes, for optimal performance, you should aim for a flow rate of approximately 10 gallons per minute (GPM) for every foot of spillway width. For this 23.5-inch model, a pump capable of delivering roughly 20 GPM at your desired head height is recommended.

The unit is designed to accommodate LED light strips, but it is much easier to install them during the initial plumbing process. If you plan to add lighting later, ensure you have accessible space behind the spillway to feed the wires and secure the strip.

Unlike spillways with narrow, enclosed slots, the open design of the Vianti Falls prevents debris and mineral deposits from getting trapped inside. This significantly reduces the frequency of cleaning and prevents the water flow from becoming uneven or blocked.

While the professional-grade stainless steel is highly durable for standard freshwater ponds and fountains, it is not recommended for use in saltwater or chlorinated pools, as these can cause corrosion over time.

The internal baffle acts as a diffuser that slows down the incoming water pressure. This ensures the water exits the spillway as a smooth, consistent sheet rather than splashing or surging out in an uneven stream.

The spillway features dual 1-inch inlets, allowing you to plumb from either side or both for balanced flow. You will typically use standard 1-inch PVC or flexible tubing, secured with hose clamps or threaded fittings depending on your specific plumbing setup.
