shelf varies 8" or greater wide,

1" to 12' deep

Set 6" to 12" size cobblestones

on vertical edges. Gravel on all

horizontal surfaces

STEP 5

Install Underlayment and Liner

• Remove any sharp objects from

the excavated hole that may dam-

age the liner.

• Unfold the underlayment fabric

and place it into your excavated

pond. Starting from the bottom,

remove the slack from the under-

layment, making sure it conforms

into all of the elevations.

• Now place the EPDM Fish-Safe

liner on top of the underlayment.

(See fig. 9)

• The installation process is the

same as the underlayment, start-

ing at the bottom and contouring

the liner up and out of the pond.

STEP 6

Installing the Skimmer and Overflow Installation

• Follow the same bulkhead installa-

tion steps used when installing the

bulkhead on the BIOFALLS

(see BIOFALLS

manual).

• Install the PVC slip fitting into

the bulkhead on the outside of

the skimmer to receive the pump

plumbing and overflow plumbing.

Use some of the silicone sealant or

16" to 20" deep

• Try to get the large folds out, but

the main goal is to make sure

that it's lying flat and going into

all corners. Don't try to get it

perfect—you will hide the liner

with rocks and gravel later.

• Make sure the liner is high enough

around the edges of the pond. This

should not be a problem if you

measured out the pond and exca-

vated it correctly. Problems can be

fixed by readjusting the liner into

the excavation, backfilling (making

the pond smaller) in areas where

there is not enough liner, or simply

buying a larger liner.

Set up and Level the Skimmer

• You've already roughed out a hole

for the skimmer during the excava-

tion phase. Use a 2' bubble level in

order to make sure your Skimmer

is properly set into position. Your

procedures. Make sure liner is positioned in such a way that allows it to

extend and completely cover the opening on the BIOFALLS

Skimmer should be level from side-

to-side and front to back.

• Make sure skimmer is set so the

desired water level in the pond is

approximately 3/4" below the top

of skimmer opening. (See fig. 10)

• Follow instructions for
