Standard waterfalls often suffer from gaps or "breaking" in the water curtain due to uneven internal pressure. The Y111 Katya utilizes an internal baffling system that dampens the turbulence of incoming water from the pumps, distributing it perfectly across the entire horizontal lip. This yields a flawless sheet-flow effect even at varying pump speeds. 2. Closed-Loop Recirculation
