  • The only thing that takes away more from a waterfall than a bad foam job is a leak. In this video, we show how we foam waterfalls to make the waterfall look more natural and beautiful.
    You should never see foam. It may kinda look like a rock, yet it will be the most unnatural looking "rock" in your waterscape! Eventually you moss will grow over it and hopefully hide it. The moving water will also hide the foam in the stream.
    Foam will not stop a leak. Foam will only divert water. Look for another video on how to seam liner and extend the feature liner.
    Using a professional foam gun, you can control foam much easier than with a DIY can. The single use cans are significantly less expensive, so if you're only doing one waterfall, they certainly have their place.
    Using Aquascapes Professional Waterfall Foam, we show you how using black waterfall foam is more forgiving than the yellow "Stuff" that isn't so "Great" for waterfalls. If the bright yellow foam gets away from you, it doesn't look very natural.

    This video really explains & shows what to do. We are working on waterfall area & in the past we have had leaks, losing water as it splashes around & not flowing the way we want. It is so hard to control the flow & one can goes too quickly! How many cans did you use?

    Is this safe to use if a person has gold fish in their pond????

    Sounds like it will for the most part, seal a small waterfall feature containing water to flow into my small pond. I do not have a liner under my very large rocks. Will the seal it creates between rocks be sufficient to keep water from leaking through? Will this seal pull apart or expand/shrink with temperature changes enough to create leaks?

    Do you have to prep the rocks if you’re repairing existing waterfall?

    • @mnwaterscapes
      @mnwaterscapes  Před 3 měsíci

      They can't be caked with dirt and no flowing water.
      While best clean and dry, they don't have to be squeaky and dry.

    Foam just breaks down and turns to dust, then you have a thousand leaks. Best to fold the liner over, use the liner not foam. It's more work but last forever, I have seen too many nightmares because of people relying on foam.

    We have a small water fall in our back yard, the ex- owner build it about 6 years ago, we moved in this house about 3 months, it stop working yesterday and dried out , can’t locate the water pump, does it need professional to repair it?
    Please give me some advise, thank you very much.

    • @mnwaterscapes
      @mnwaterscapes  Před 3 lety

      If you can’t find the pump, having someone look over the pond who does it professionally may be beneficial. They may be able to show you the basics of how it’s built, and how the system should work.
      We have a leak blog on our website, and will be recording more videos on leak detection soon!
      Follow the electric cord and that should lead you to the pump.

      Google translate says you asked what kind of glue.
      The foam acts as glue. It is super sticky when first put down. When it dries, it becomes almost hard as a rock!

      Some box stores sell pond foam, but it's in the DIY can. We would consider giving up pond building if we had to use those on every project...
      Another, please don't use yellow foam! It's, um, not pretty.

    I have that foam and it’s unbelievably infuriating that it’s labeled as black, but when it dries it’s GREEN. Not subtle, dark green. No. Pretty bright yellow and green.
