Abstract:
A waterfall apparatus, comprising:a housing defining an upwardly opening chamber that extends from a bottom portion of the housing to a top portion of the housing; and a water-sheeting manifold that fits at least partially within the upwardly opening chamber; the housing including a water inlet in fluid communication with the upwardly opening chamber that functions as means for coupling wager from a separate source of pressurized water to the upwardly opening chamber; and the water-sheeting manifold fitting in the upwardly opening chamber moveably for upward movement under influence of water pressure in the upwardly opening chamber from a lowered first position in which the water-sheeting manifold presents a low profile to an elevated second position in which the water-sheeting manifold presents a higher profile and discharges a sheet of water simulating a waterfall; wherein the top portion of the housing includes an upper edge and a drainage lip slightly lower than the upper edge that facilitates drainage of water from the upwardly opening chamber when the water-sheeting manifold rises above the drainage lip.
