The pump used in this video is a Water Rebirth pond pump rated at 9000 gallons per hour (GPH) (amzn.to/3C6JcPR). Pond pumps are high volume low pressure pumps as opposed to well pumps or cistern pumps which are high pressure low volume pumps. Just mentioning that so you know to use a pond pump for your pond or waterfall project.
So why a waterfall on this particular building project? Anywhere you build a house you're going to need to be familiar with the annual weather patterns and in some cases change the building plans accordingly. In Valle de Bravo, the rainy season is particularly powerful and potentially damaging to a house. With that in mind, I designed a method to capture most of the rain water that falls on the roof and the patios of the house and literally funnel it to the river. This design incorporated a stone waterfall which protects the steep terrain from the significant erosion that would otherwise occur. And as long as there's a waterfall it might as well be adapted to use as a water feature in the dry season. That adaptation is accomplished by adding a pond at the bottom with a submersible pump system to activate the waterfall as desired.
