How to construct a wall of water on a budget and make it dance. This is a design build waterwall with a mechanical motorized actuator. The moving actuator was purchased off the shelf and this project could be constructed by anyone who follows my directions. Video and wall design is the creation of Randy Beard. Randy is a gardening designer with a back ground in water.
Why the fuck am I watching this?
How did I get here?
by clicking the video you stupid fuck
You took a seat over there and just started watching it
Your secretly envious of the water wall and want one for yourself. Maybe?
same here
be grateful you're not watching " the people of walmart"
To this day I have never really understood wealthy folks. You have a $75,000.00 + back pool/spa and patio, but you "budgeted" an expensive river rock water wall feature? So you saved some money on the aquatic engineering and mechanics of the rock water wall. That's fantastic! More angus filets and martini's for dinner! I delivered pizza's for a couple of years to feed my family. And I knew when I delivered to a residence such as this there would be no tip. Have to budget those pennies.
Hey, don't be hatin'. We're just like you, but successful.
I do not have any hatred towards whomever owns this little paradise. I applaud successful HONEST folks. Hatred brings ill health to one's body. I just have a misunderstanding of penny pinching when it appears the piggy bank runneth over. Seen it too many times.
Just remember, that water feature and pool area provided employment for the laborers of the pool company, the guys that work the loading dock that sold the plumbing supplies, truck drivers and concrete workers.
I think he also forgets about the pizza they ordered paid for his wages.
Well, you gotta pinch pennies, to have pennies to pinch.
Great work.
Arduino and non-proprietary PLC programs are widely available for very little. Develop any controlled scheme, and program a multitude of outcomes. Use counters, timers, PID, sequencers, sense flow, light, pressure, sound, presence, temperature to carry out whatever you can imagine and most of the functions are built-in.
+Kenny Honse the newer ver of the ras pi uses an arm7 chip set and is only 35$ lol and is smaller than a wallet so it can be hidden easy.
they did a good job with the water displays...that whole setting looks inviting and relaxing!
Love the wall, hate the rude comments
There is no reason why a computer-controlled systems should be thousands of bucks - an Arduino is $20. All you have to do is program it up, and you can make it as simple or as complicated as you want.
arduino can only last so long
+Nathan Pattison Paul is absolutely right, an arduino, an hour of coding, a few 12 volt drink machine valves, some relays, and a power supply could accomplish this with a few hours of labor (not including building the wall itself). There is basically no r and d required, just a simple software program and some very simple wiring, put it all in a waterproof box, hook up some tubes, and you're done. As far as Elexie Munyeneh's comment above yours, there is no reason to assume that an Arduino would be any less reliable in the long run than this system. Also, just FYI the guy asked for suggestions and Paul made a good one.
+Justin Allen .
+Justin Allen Yeah, I dont know that drink machine valves can flow the kind of volume for a water wall.
Several drink machine valves in parallel or other solenoid operated valve...
Not sure why this was suggested to watch. I'm never going to have this guy's problems.
LOL... ain't that the truth !
If you're not a contractor, yeah, you're not going to have his problems.
? I missed something somewhere. Looks like water running over the top of a wall onto some rocks
there are 7 trays of water across the top that fill at different times - when one is full the whole contents of that one tray gooshes out over the wall ... then it starts over again ... its downright whimsical
yeah, like watching paint dry
Maybe it's the video resolution. Not too amazed by water running over rocks.
lol
Yeah, that's exactly what it is. And it's really cool. You clearly have never been around the sound of falling water, else you'd get it.
I love it when someone comes up with a cheaper simplified way to do something complex.
Great job on the water wall. I love the sound of the water. It blocks other noise.
What a nice deck
Oh no, that dude talking was just a contractor. You should see the owner's deck.. I'm sure it's much bigger.
My friend has the biggest blackest deck out of all of us :( my girlfriend is always on his deck
Joeboxer
So your girlfriend likes the BLACK DECK!!!!!
can you please post an updated video where you show the actual components you used and how you put them together to create the effect. Also how you built the water wall.
marcelino razo I would like to know that as well, or can you draw a scheme for us? thanks
Nearly 6 Million clicks for a simple waterwall. Not bad!
Goes to show you it is all about the misleading title. Click bait.
The wall is not even all that impressive. Cool but not amazing.
@Troy: Yes! I so wish that UTube would indicate the upload's likes/dislikes in the thumbnail info. It would certainly save people a lot of time.
+SmoothRideScooter I don't have to be able to or have done something to know if it is good or not.
In my world, this wall is, well, normal and not that impressive. Sorry to hurt anyone's feelings. I am just being honest.
It is a wonderful job Randy. Thank you for showing us what our working Americans can do.
I am a water lover, you know, pluviophile, hydriphile, and everything concerning water. So your video turned me crazy. THANK YOU!
Who else thought it was a secret door?
Me
i did
+Snrub0800 So did I
+Snrub0800 me :(
same
Thanks for the video. Love the wall and hot tip.
In-floor cleaning systems for pools generally have a mechanical part that rotates the water flow among several different outputs. Seems that it would be perfectly suited to an application such as this. They run entirely on the flow of the water, with no electricity needed, and are designed for continuous use.
they would not get 30K $ to put in some lame a$$ lookin wall thingy.Shalom..🕎
I'm an interior architect and a former general contractor. I have a project that I am designing a "large" water feature for and think you have nailed it.
Needed sound from the waterfall. The little renal was great because of the sound. Great job on the whole yard. Very nice!
maybe look into ram pump type of deal so that way...say you have 4 or 5 chambers get filled up it would trigger like an open valve that has a certain pound so it could release the water... it would be less energy because its using gravity instead of electricity. think of those water parks with a big water bucket that would spill onto the kids once its full...that sort of idea, doesn't have to be a bucket but using pvc pipes with a blowout valve when it is at a certain level of full.
I guess Im asking randomly but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Jamari Lee instablaster =)
@John Jaylen I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@John Jaylen It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out!
@Jamari Lee Glad I could help :D
Beautiful
Skip right to 3:44 and save yourself some time.
The exterior design is ultra modern, the way I like it. The waterwall is interesting, I'd never seen one until now.
Nice Job
Good to see another pool professional utilizing our skills and creativity to provide for clients at a reasonable cost vs selling the highest dollar items that work just to make more profit.
Question: does a water wall provide any cooling benefits? I'm designing my house in Bangkok and I'm trying to devise ways to cool the house besides air con. I'm thinking if I had running water throughout the house somehow I could keep the air temperature down and spend less money on a/c. I don't really like the feel of an air con room anyhow.
Evaporating water only cools in dry climates. Since Thailand is so humid, a water wall would not cool the air.
+Jacob Williams No it will warm the water...
+Jacob Williams just blast the water into the earth, then back to the surface and into a radiator w/ a fan.. .the earth is 55 degrees and would constantly cool the water
I know heated floors work in colder climates but I'm not sure if the opposite would work if you used cooled floors.
You that cheap? YOU BUILDING A HOUSE! If your worried about a freaking bill then rent! Tight wad!
To all the people who complain:
Do you have a water wall?
Do you have a pool?
Do you have time to do all the shit Randy did?
If you answered no of any of the following then go away.
I for one like these cheap but effective DIY's, not all of us are willing or able to pay that much for something that simple.
When I get a little older I would want something this cool at my place, I'm a dude that would put alot of effort into something I would want to come out pretty awesome!
why not standard low voltage valves and a flip flop timer/relay or even a microprocessor like arduino? this seems overly complex. of course, i could be an idiot.
Thought this was clever and the wall is aesthetically pleasing. When you do show these ideas it would be nice to show a schematic for people to fully understand what you have done. It can then be pondered upon and maybe improved. Good job
Electric motor and a crank shaft turning piston style water pump each reservoir pumped by its own piston, creating momentary overflow. Long stroke and slow turning will give the dancing effect. You can also do it electronically with an Arduino, a few small pumps and some tubing. 24V system, easy and quiet. Nice work!
Checking out the wall
A couple of waterproof sub-woofers could be utilized to play with the harmonics of the pool.
And generate some sort of "standing wave".

To appreciate how accurate you can generate standing waves, a Japanese University pushed the technology here:

Have fun !
Hey Randy, have you ever built one of these with a sharper/shale style of rock? I have used larger shale rock stacked as a small waterfall in a man made stream from one pond to another, for effect as well as additional oxygenation for the lower pond. If this same thing was done with small shale style on a wall coupled with lighting, it may produce a neat misting and splashing.
Randy Beard The Magic is in how you made some believe this is a water waste. Their both beautiful works Randy Beard
Randy Beard looks sweet , but why bother putting that pool in anyway ? its too small to swim in
Randy Beard Could you please get me an advice. Water splits on the floor from little rocks. How can I solve this, maybe I should out something on the stones so that water can "go" smoothly, or smth? Thanks a lot.
this guys patio looks like a map from Black ops 2..ahha
things rich people need...
Yeah...my heart bleeds
bizzarrogeorge only them?
John Henry mine too
they have houses the size of walmart and only 2 or 1 people live in them, i cut grass in these neighborhoods i see it personally myself. its sad man theyrs so greedy to have the luxuries it sick. and most of them cant even look you in the eye and say hello
bizzarrogeorge Right. Give me a good ol water balloon fight with my family and friends and Im good.
I personally want to see a time lapse of the rock wall itself being constructed. Cool!
Nice install - most people don't realize the aesthetic value for the home simply by installing a piece like this. Kudos to you. Should you sell the house I bet this install would drive the market price up at least a couple grand.
secret trick? It's just water plinko
plinko. nuk nuk nuk...
Wow, you really don't pay attention, do you?
So how exactly is this secret?
How long before it turns green with algae
If there are no fish in there, you just add a cup of bleach every week and that keeps algae from growing.
must be lovely to live somewhere warm and have the money to enjoy it like that
Great effect and easily adaptable design for other applications, such as a hillside cascade system .
I got 2 words for ya: MONEY
Money is one word
Brad Keats Watch the disney version of hercule ;)
That's one word idiot
Garrett Hampton depends what language you speak.
Phil lol
I can't believe how much hate this video generated.
I guess they, esp. this "Lew Scagnetti" would like to go and blow up all those casino's in Vegas that "waste" water in one of the most driest area's of the USA?
I like it and wtf, why can't someone enjoy the fruits of their labours?
My question, if you're still responding, is would this be a project for northern climates?
I would imagine you'd have to drain/dry it out entirely before the winter. Does the wall have any lighting behind it? That would be a good touch as well.
First step. You must be rich to accomplish this...
I want one in the Atrium entry foyer. Stunning approach to the front door in a private planted entrance way. Thanks for the tip and vid. Just like Vegas!
randy,
I work on custom aquariums for a living. Instead of an actuator, check out the "oceans motion" 4-way or 8-way. It is a rotating drum style current device that switches pipes that are plumbed to it to create current. could work great in this application and they don't break!
Why is this in my rec? :I
Mine as well
+Tied Noose Let me borrow you for a second. You aren't scared of heights, are you?
Sunny Gibson sure
Do a tutorial on how to build this in Minecraft
Obviously a 8 year old fucking playing mine craft and like you can create this in mine craft
Admir Cekic thanks for the advice 👍 Gonna find an 8 year old to help me.
Multimillion dollar home, crap camera.
Maybe because he's not the owner.....
its 2011 so its probably a 2010 camera
Just what the world needs --a water wall ...
My first thought was low voltage valves like you might use with timer controlled sprinklers, controlled by an Arduino microprocessor. You could even add subtle lighting effects run by the same processor. The patterns could then be random instead of sequential, or even driven by an external input such as a music system. It needn't be any more expensive than what you did here. Any friendly local computer nerd would love the challenge.
+Norman Morgan
yeah what he said!
1748 people didn't have to see this..
1 person is still making jokes about the number of people who dislike a youtube video.
That's a lot of rocks... :l
we dont have to see this
Great concept idea that puts you out in front of the competition. It takes courage to share your concept idea on the internet. This makes you the leader in your market. Another concept might include fiberoptic strands that can be strategically placed to scatter the light as the water dances.
i thought the whole thing was really nice. I'm impressed with the craftsmanship of it all.
why he in my backyard
my Labrador retriever could make that happen for free.
Thats why California is runnung out of water !
i hope it recycles the water oozing over that wall !
WOW, Randy, this in WONDERFUL! Simple, elegant, serine -- intelligent design. It is neither overwhelming, nor terrible ostentatious, but pleasant and very livable. Besides it is done at a very reasonable cost. Thumbs Up! You have all reasons to be proud of your creation....it is my professional interior designer opinion.
Your stone work is impeccable.
No trick, but pyisics.
Poverty...
You would think with all this money he wouldn't have a potato for a camera
You would think you'd learn to check the date it was posted...
+erekllama you know they had non potato cameras in 2011
two and half minutes of Blah and boring chatter only to see nothing
What's there to say? He's proud of his acquisitions and wants to show them off
i love your work , i think the whole set up is a+ i would love to wake up to the sound of flowing water well done.
Great project. We are designing one now in Long Island NY
Thanks for the video
What the fuck, click bait and I'm Tony Fucking Clifton.
Rich people lmao
Yes! I'm not the only one saying this XD
yawn
dunno why everyone's hatting on this guy for having nice things... keep it up bro.
I like your cost effective way to offer clients more bang for their buck. How about LED to the sides with options for different colors, or an elevated spillway behind the other two to pour over as one unit of water. You probably have that. Looks like something to work on in the future.
I was waiting for something spectacular to happen. Just looked like water running down a wall in a rainstorm.
I don't know why people would dislike this?
I guess it's basically Poor people who are jealous they will never live in such a great location with that awesome landscaping
I could watch that wall all day
I like the water wall. It might be neat to add that same pond stone to the river channel you have. Might give it some nice contrast and tie in the wall with the pools.
That's a really nice terrace. Not tacky nor cheap in appearance.
"You have to see this!"
Persuasion level-up, Randy Beard. I will never have needed to see this.
***** Hahahaha
Truly creative concept. And not totally as costly .great +on the real estate aspect..I do agree a video showing the l.e.d lights etc is a plus ..I hope to see more in the future. ..
Very cool, I love to see different ways to accomplish something that people want in a more simple way. Also, the pool design and layout is absolutely amazing!
The view, the water, the spa, the outdoor living... o.o
I can show you the dancing water in my camping trailer home. you step on a peddle and is swishes around, it's pretty cool.
And better vet it serves a useful purpose
you guys come up with the coolest ideas!! not to mention, inexpensive but look really expensive!!
Randy, that wall is really sharp. Has me thinking about building one. As far as a way to dump water, Google "water dump bucket DIY". You could build a totally mechanical dump system that only relies on the increasing weight of the water for timing. Have 3 separate troughs at the top, each with its own supply of water. By adjusting the flow to each trough you can vary the timing.
It would be possible to mechanize that with a floater that travels up and down and moves the water in waves, so that the wave exits the top at different exit points.
This wasn't what I was looking for but, Lovely patio & water wall.
Great job. Love it. Thank goodness we have geniuses like you to save us serious $$$. Thank you.
Wow! Thank you for posting this. This has given me some great ideas for when I build my pool.
Late for a reply, but 'Bell Siphons' found in Aquaponics mostly and 3 (or more) small chambers above where the water is released. From pump to each chamber when each bell siphon lets go you have whatever amount of water in that chamber run down the wall. (again, the holding tanks (chambers) would need to be above where the water falls down the wall. So a slot in the facing stone to allow flow..)
Cost = time and pipe .. as it would be on one normal return anyway. Add one ball valve before it goes up the wall and you can shut it off to do whatever maintenance on it. If it's ever needed being the chambers could be covered.
All you need is one pump at bottom and a bell siphon in each tank up top to make it dance. The out-spouts up top would have different diameter openings so each section would fill at a different rate. Once full the siphon would kick in and dump the tank. Simple as that :)
This really looks nice. I would decrease the velocity of the water in that canal from the spa area to make it flow down the steps, rather than shooting over the step like that.
Pretty cool... For an ad... Randy you gave just enough information to make this semi-informative. I like it, only because I've worked with pools/hardscape in the past, and also like the tech aspect.
As for wasting water? Swimming pools are a way of life in Cali, at least for now; to save water, we first need to do away with lawns.
I'm not sure how I ended up here but what a brilliant little vid. Well done, I'd love an evening there with a few beers.
It would be my dream to have this on my patio.
Here in North Carolina, we'd just have a 6 pack and whiz on the wall! Easy as that, WATER WALL!
You could do a infloor cleaning canister instead of the jandy valve. Would have longer action, maybe they could get you some different gears and it would spin faster?
I love what you've done!
A geared oval actuator might have given some interesting results. The flow/ overflow on this is very predictable, with a different actuator you should have been able to maintain a slow flow to the other quadrants and made the main cascade a little more random. Might have been a bit more expensive, but finding one would have been a bigger challenge.
Thanks for sharing, I'll be subscribing!
Ah a fellow philanthropist. Next week some of the gents and I are taking the limo downtown to laugh at the homeless. Hope to see you there.
Try using irrigation valves controlled by an opensprinkler. You could control the system in real time from your smart phone or run preprogrammed patterns.
Cool Cell pads for poultry houses just have a resivor with a recirculating pump and the water trickles down the pad and they suck air through it. They also have a float valve that keeps the resivor full, kinda like a toilet valve.
that is so cool, I love the sound of a waterfall.
Just a quick thought, you might be able to configure a bell siphon method with three different chambers elevated at different levels with each bell siphon discharging from the different chambers at different levels. The only drawback that I could see would be that the water wall would have a top addition that would not have water on it but could be used to display a nice mosaic art piece. But I love this!
