You can enjoy the special sight and sound of a waterfall right at home without worrying about constant maintenance, thanks to the popular pondless waterfall that operates with one switch and a filter that is good for years. They’re available in a range of sizes and prices to please any homeowner.

Pondless waterfalls reduce cost, maintenance

If you’re dreaming of a waterfall, you may be glad to know there is an option that costs less than most and is easier to maintain.

“Most people are doing pondless waterfalls. They are low maintenance. You get the sound but no maintenance. They’re also cheaper than a full-blown waterfall,” said Kody Thompson, owner of KBT Waterfalls in South Weber.

Thompson said a waterfall will increase the value and enjoyment of a home, but a waterfall with a pond also increases maintenance.

MUST HAVE: CAFFEINE

As far as bad habits go, a morning cup of coffee probably isn't topping the list of those negatively affecting your health.

"Caffeine is controversial, but there isn't any definitive collection of studies to show it is harmful. A lot of people are making a bigger issue than is there," said Rod Hansen, associate professor of nutrition at Weber State University.

Ogden Regional Medical Center registered dietitian Rina Jordan agrees -- as long as caffeine consumption is moderate.

"Three cups of coffee or an equivalent doesn't change anything," she said.
