Pool Waterfall Kits for Contractors & Pool Builders
Advanced Waterfall Systems builds pre-engineered, real natural-stone waterfall systems that let pool and outdoor-living contractors deliver resort-style waterfalls, grottos, slides, and formal features without needing waterfall-building experience. Every system is engineered as modular natural-stone panels with internal, hidden plumbing, is designed to be waterproof by design, and is fully assembled and test-run in our New Jersey facility before it ships — so flow is dialed in and leaks are solved in the shop, not in your customer’s backyard.
For contractors the result is simple: faster installs, fewer callbacks, and predictable profit. Most jobs come down to setting engineered components with your machine, making one or two straightforward plumbing connections, and finishing the surrounding landscape. From Genesis kits that set in under an hour to massive Ultimate grottos, Advanced Waterfall Systems helps you add a high-impact feature anywhere in the country.
Who Advanced Waterfall Systems Kits Are For
- Pool builders & gunite/fiberglass installers who want to add waterfalls, grottos, and slides as a repeatable upsell.
- Landscape and hardscape contractors who already run equipment and want a high-margin water feature they can install with confidence.
- Homeowners who want a real-stone system for a new build or an existing pool and will have their own contractor handle installation.
Any landscape or pool contractor can successfully install an AWS system — see How Any Landscape or Pool Contractor Can Install AWS Systems.
Direct Homeowner vs. Contractor Workflow
Homeowners browse the Inspiration Gallery and Oasis Inventory for designs and pricing, request a quote, and have their own pool builder or landscape contractor set the system. We supply the CAD plans, as-built documentation, and installation videos your contractor needs.
Contractor partners get exclusive pricing at 50% of the retail price shown on the site, full access to the gallery with pricing, technical specs for proposals, the complete training-video library, and direct support from our fabrication team.
Install Prerequisites
Before delivery day, an installing contractor should have:
- A machine to set the panels — a skid steer, mini-excavator, or crane sized to the system’s panel weights.
- The matched AWS lifting & rigging kit for the system being installed.
- A prepared, compacted base per the AWS landscape guidelines and as-built plan.
- The ability to make one or two standard plumbing connections to the pool’s existing pump and return lines.
- Site and drop access the machine can reach with the crated system.
Prepare the site using Preparing for Your Waterfall Installation and AWS Landscape Guidelines.

Common Contractor Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)
- Under-sizing equipment. Match your machine and the lifting/rigging kit to the published panel weights before delivery day.
- Skipping the system-specific training video. Each system has its own install and rigging walkthrough — watch it first.
- Not preparing the base. Set panels on a prepared, compacted base per the landscape guidelines.
- Forgetting machine access. Plan a drop location and a path your machine can reach with the crated system.
- Quoting a retrofit before confirming fit. Send photos and dimensions of an existing pool so we can confirm the right system first.

Contractor & Pool-Builder FAQs
What does a pool builder need to install an Advanced Waterfall Systems kit?
In most cases, three things: a machine to set the panels (a skid steer, mini-excavator, or crane sized to the system), the matching AWS lifting and rigging kit, and the ability to make one or two standard plumbing connections to the pool’s pump. Each system ships pre-engineered as modular natural-stone panels with internal, hidden plumbing, fully assembled and test-run at our New Jersey facility before it leaves the shop. Crews receive pre-construction CAD plans, as-built documentation, and a system-specific installation video. No prior waterfall-building experience is required.
How does the plumbing work on an AWS system?
Plumbing is internal and hidden inside the engineered panels, and the system is designed to be waterproof by design. Because each system is fully assembled and test-run in our New Jersey facility before shipping, flow is dialed in and leaks are solved in the shop. On site, the contractor typically makes one or two straightforward connections between the system and the pool’s existing pump and return lines. The Technical Deep Dive video above walks through it.
What lifting and rigging do I need?
It depends on the size of the system. Genesis kits are light enough to set quickly, while larger Ultimate grottos require heavier equipment. AWS offers matched lifting and rigging kits and shows the exact method in dedicated training videos: Genesis Bar Lifting Kit, 1 Ton Lifting Kit, 5 Ton Lifting & Rigging, and Rigging Kits. Always follow the rigging video for your specific system and rate your equipment to the published panel weights.
How are the panels anchored and set?
Panels are set on a prepared, compacted base per the AWS landscape guidelines and the as-built plan, then positioned with your machine and the rigging kit. The modular design means components lock together as engineered — most jobs come down to setting the components, making the plumbing connections, and finishing the surrounding landscape.
What is the lead time?
Systems are pre-engineered and fabricated to order, then assembled and test-run in New Jersey before they ship, so lead time varies by system and the current production schedule. Contact our team for the current lead time on the system you’re quoting so you can schedule the install with confidence.
How does freight and shipping work?
Finished systems are crated and shipped by freight directly to your job site anywhere in the country. Because freight cost depends on system size, weight, and destination, we quote it per project — contact us with the system and delivery ZIP for a freight quote, and plan a drop location your machine can reach.
Can a kit be added to an existing pool (retrofit)?
Yes — AWS systems are installed on both new builds and existing pools. Retrofit feasibility depends on access for equipment, the deck, beam, or grade where the system will sit, and tying into the existing pump and plumbing. Renovation-oriented systems are designed for exactly this. Share photos and dimensions of the existing pool through our contact form and we’ll confirm fit and the right system before you quote the job.
