Gravity Fed Water Blade – 200mm Spout

Gravity Fed Water Blade – 200mm Spout

Temporary made to order lead time: Due to exceptionally high demand at the Water Blades factory, these stainless steel water blades are currently being made to order. Please allow up to 3 weeks for manufacture and dispatch. This is temporary, and we will always aim to send sooner wherever possible.

The Gravity Fed Water Blade with 200mm Spout is a premium stainless steel waterfall feature, expertly crafted for use with gravity-fed pond systems. Its design has been carefully developed since 2016, tested extensively, and officially launched in 2018 to provide the perfect balance of performance, durability, and style.

Built to eliminate back pressure, this water blade ensures smooth, consistent water flow, making it an ideal choice for koi ponds, ornamental ponds, and larger gravity-fed systems. It can accommodate inlet pipes up to 4 inches in diameter, allowing for higher water volumes without compromising on performance.

This model features a 200mm spout projection, providing a longer, more pronounced sheet of water compared to shorter spout versions. The overhang creates a bold and eye-catching effect, perfect for those wanting a more dramatic waterfall feature in their pond or garden.

Crafted from 3mm thick stainless steel for the back flange and a 2mm stainless steel body, the Gravity Fed Water Blade is built for strength and longevity. The brushed stainless steel finish adds a modern, professional look while being easy to maintain.

Available in widths from 200mm to 600mm, this waterfall can be customised to fit a variety of pond sizes and designs. For bespoke projects, we also offer custom manufacturing, giving you a tailored solution for your unique setup.

Installation is simple with the use of a regular pipe fitting (non-threaded) and a rubber coupling, ensuring a secure and professional fit for long-term reliability.

Pump and flow rate guidance

Gravity-fed water blades are more sensitive to pipework design than a normal pump-fed blade. The unit needs a large, unrestricted feed so the water can settle and spread evenly across the spill lip without being forced through a small pressure hose. Water Blades recommend the following pump outputs as a starting point for gravity-fed water blade installations, measured as the real flow arriving at the blade after head height and pipe losses.

Water blade width	Recommended pump flow after head height
200mm	2,000 to 3,000 LPH
300mm	3,000 to 5,000 LPH
400mm	4,000 to 7,000 LPH
500mm	5,000 to 8,000 LPH
600mm	6,000 to 9,000 LPH

When choosing a pump, do not work from the headline pump size alone. A pump rated at 10,000 litres per hour will deliver less than that once it has to lift water and push it through pipework. For this reason, it is often worth selecting a larger variable flow pond pump and turning it down to suit the blade once installed.

Pipework and installation extras

Gravity-fed blades should be installed with the correct rigid pipe, smooth bends and suitable rubber couplings rather than being reduced too aggressively. Keeping the pipework large and unrestricted helps the blade fill evenly and reduces the chance of surging or uneven flow. Use the inlet size selected on the product and avoid guessing based on outside diameters, as pond hose, pressure pipe, black waste pipe and rubber fittings are not always interchangeable.
