Waterfall Feed

[Anthony]

I will have 2 pipes each being 2'' feeding the top of my waterfall with approximately 7000gph.
My question is being I am not using any kind of bio falls or other falls unit how can I terminate the pipe ends in the rocks for even controlled dispersion?

I have heard that some folks actually have heated the end of the pipes to flatten them out and make a weir. I don't think you would be able to tell the difference in volume coming out of the two pipes but you could put a ball valve on each one to regulate the flow to ensure even volume.

I put a T on my 2 inch, (before we built our deck pond) put some 2 inch pvc on the t, end caps, and drilled holes in the pvc, the water came out very nicely. I was going to hide among the pond rocks at the top of the stream. But then honey said lets build a deck pond and plans changed.

you could move up to 3" or even bigger for the actual outlets.
