    6ft should be far enough away so that you do not affect the integrity of the pool. However, I would urge you to consider a standard pond with waterfall. One that has plants, fish, etc. They are very low cost if you DIY, cheaper than the pondless waterfall kit that you have shown in your link. They are also almost no maintenance once set up and become an incredibly enjoyable focal point in your yard. I have one within a few feet of my pool.

    Keith, thanks for the reply. Your pond looks great! That's definitely another option to consider.

    We also have a pond near our pool and think it's a great addition to the backyard. You can have a much more subtle waterfall in a pond that runs constantly for pennies a day. Plus, the sound is not as overpowering as many of the pool waterfalls I see.
