How NOT To Build A Water Wall - Indoor Waterfall Water Distribution FAIL

 

This is the transcription of my voice in this video:

In this video I'm going to show you how you should not build a water wall, how you should not do the water distribution and the overflow channel.

The first problem here, as you can see, is that the back wall is very low and the water can escape at the back too, if you produce here more waves. And then the second thing is that we just have a couple of metal plates with holes inside this overflow channel, inside the gutter. But the feeding comes from the middle. So, if this is the complete overflow channel we have a feeding from the middle and on that feeding there sits a small cap. So, this is this one and this cap causes the water only to escape into two directions, so we get a venturi effect which means that we produce a lot of pressure here due to the water which comes to the sides. But we have low pressure here in the middle and according to that, the water does not flow over the overflow channel here in this middle area, and...

How to design a backyard water feature - DIY Outdoor Waterfall

 

This is the transcription of my voice in this video:

In this video I'm going to show you how we have planned a water feature in the backyard for a customer.

Here you can see the basic set up, already with all the covers but just up front, down here, we have a tank. Here we would have the pump. The pump would direct the water through a 32 millimeters diameter hose or pipe to the top of the water wall and then the water would be distributed in an overflow channel, which I will show you in a minute, and then the water would go across those natural stone tiles, being collected here in a bottom tank and then moving forward back to the tank, which is digged below the grass. So, this is the main circle.

Then you can see here an overflow channel made of stainless steel which is supported by 2 PVC sub distributions. So, this 32 diameter pipe is then divided into two pipes and each would have a PVC sub distribution. This sub distribution is very clearly explained in our Glass Waterwall...

Water Wall Test - Natural Stone Tiles - Distribution, Splashing and Visibility

 

This is the transcription of my voice in this video:

In this video I want to show you our test, which we have made, with natural tile stones in order to create a water wall. So the customer asked us to plan a water wall and so we did what we always do and what we really recommend, we tested those natural stone tiles before we did the planning and the installation. And there are actually the two most important things are here splashing and free falling drops and the color of the stone.

Let's just begin with splashing. So we have tested the water distribution with different amounts of water, well, it's not precise but it's just a volume of water which we have driven across the surface and you can see here at 25 percent, well, it's barely covering the whole thing. Then we opened the pump a little bit and, I think, this has been the best setting with 50%. 75% creates too much streams and I would say it's too much and 100 percent is far too much.

So, okay, so we have found out that the...

DIY Indoor Waterfall With Big Problems

diy stone water wall video Apr 01, 2020
 

This is the transcription of my voice in this video:

Here you can see a very big water wall. It is around about 6m high and more than 3m wide in a very excusive, expensive 5 star hotel and guess what: it was a big desaster. Well, i didn't build this one, actually the customer called me to help him fix it.
Let me show you the biggest problems: Here you can see, what it is now looking like, actually they just turned it on to show me how it looks like. And as you can see, the water is running behind those dirty glasses. And, it doesn't look really good. The problem was thoses natural stone tiles, they made the water splash and drop away and here they try to fix it with silicone and the problem is that silicone is making the water loosing contact to the surface and then it dropped away.
So, actually the whole project was from the beginning, well, a real big problem and then they tried to fix it and each fix led to another problem. So, this is a wall which is covered with natural stone...

Why it is good to use a reverse osmosis with automated waterwalls

 

This is the transcription of my voice in this video:

In this video I will explain and show you why you should use a reverse osmosis when running an automated water wall system because reverse osmosis is one of the best tools to remove lime from the house tap water. And as you maybe know lime is one of the biggest problems you can face when creating water features because it not only it makes your water feature ugly, it can also damage surfaces, it can cause water damages and it's the number one reason why pumps get killed. Because if a pump has to deal with lime, after a short period of time it simply won't continue pumping. And manufacturers generally do not accept lime damages within the guarantee. So if you have a new water feature and you don't take care of calcification, it might happen that after three or four months your pump is dead and you will have to buy a new one because you have no warranty on the pump because the damage is caused by lime and calcification.

So it's very...
