Product Description
The ATLANTIC WATERGARDENS 73935 is a 19-inch Big Bahama Filter Falls unit designed for pond and water garden installations. It functions as both a biological filter and a decorative waterfall spillway, processing pond water through filter media before cascading it back into the pond. The wide spillway lip produces a natural sheet-flow waterfall effect. Pond service professionals and water garden installers use this unit as a primary biological filtration point in residential and light commercial pond systems. At 23 pounds, the unit is substantial enough for stable in-ground or semi-submerged placement at the pond edge.
The 73935 is suited for outdoor pond and water garden applications where both filtration and aesthetic waterfall presentation are required. It is typically installed at the top of a pond's return line, receiving flow from a submersible or external pump. The 19-inch spillway width makes it appropriate for small to mid-size ornamental ponds. Pond and landscape water feature contractors are the primary installers, though experienced DIYers familiar with pond plumbing also work with this product.
Key Features
- 19-inch spillway width produces a wide, natural sheet-flow waterfall curtain
- Integrated biological filter chamber processes pond water before discharge

Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation filter falls unit for residential and light commercial ornamental pond and water garden systems utilizing a pump-driven return line.
Installation Notes
Installation is typically performed by pond and landscape water feature contractors. Before servicing or repositioning the unit, shut off the pond pump completely to stop water flow. The unit should be set level on a stable, compacted berm or pond edge to ensure even spillway distribution across the full 19-inch width. Check all inlet plumbing connections for secure fit before resuming pump operation.
