Sheer Elegance 60ft Acrylic Spillway SE60 - Modern Color Lighted

Our review of the Sheer Elegance 60' Acrylic Spillway (SE60) finds it ideal for homeowners and installers seeking a modern, low-profile waterfall element for patios, wet walls, or indoor water features. The single biggest reason to buy is its clean, consistent sheet of water produced by two clear acrylic panels spaced 3/16' apart, which delivers a refined visual and audible waterfall without complex plumbing. This unit is practical to install and offers an optional color-changing LED upgrade for dramatic nighttime displays, making it a versatile choice for decorative water features.

Key Features

• Strong acrylic construction: Provides a durable, rigid spillway body that simplifies mounting across multiple installation types.
• Consistent sheer arc: Two clear acrylic panels spaced 3/16' apart produce a smooth, elegant water sheet that reads well in both day and night settings.
• Lighted upgrade available: The color-changing LED option allows remote power control, brightness adjustment, color selection, and speed changes for nighttime impact.
• Standard inlet plumbing: A 1.5' female-thread water inlet located in the center on the spillway box bottom makes plumbing straightforward for most pump setups.
• Flow guidance: Recommended 1000 GPH per foot of spillway length gives a clear baseline for selecting pump capacity to achieve an even flow.
• 1-year warranty: Backed by a one-year manufacturer's warranty, offering basic coverage for defects and early failures.

Who It's For

The SE60 is best for landscape professionals and DIY homeowners looking for a stylish, modern spillway to use on formal water walls, patio fountains, or indoor waterfall features where a clean glass-like sheet of water is desired. The optional LED upgrade makes it appealing to those who want a focal feature that transforms after dark.

Those working with fish ponds that lack filtration should look elsewhere unless they plan to add a pre-filter or external pressure filter, since the unit is not recommended for fish ponds without added filtration. It is also less suited to applications with heavy debris where frequent maintenance would be impractical.
