Aquascape Pro 09020 Anleitung und Wartung

STEP 1

PLACE BIOFALLS

• If starting a new pond the BioFalls

create your waterfall and should be positioned so it's facing

a main viewing area.

• Make sure it is placed close

to the edge of the pond so

you can connect the pond

liner to the BioFalls

• If you are using the BioFalls

filter on an existing pond,

you will need an extra piece

of liner approximately 4' x

6'. The extra liner should be long enough to attach to the

BioFalls

lip and have plenty left to hang over the side of

the pond to prevent water loss.

• If you are using the BioFalls

We recommend the BioFalls

length of the pond from the Skimmer.

STEP 2

HOOK UP AND LEVEL BIOFALLS

• Install the two bulkheads into the back of the Signature Series

BioFalls

Filter. The filter has two openings on the back allowing

several plumbing options.

1. For single pump applications attach one pump plumbing

line into one bulkhead and utilize the plug in the other. Use

the angle of the bulkheads to your advantage by using the

bulkhead that works best with the direction and sweep of the

plumbing coming from the pump.

2. For double pump applications, attach each pump plumbing

line into a bulkhead.

• Optional Drain Kit – The Signature Series

available with an optional drain kit. The drain kit is attached to

the second bulkhead on single pump applications. The drain kit

allows the ability to conduct water changes and makes annual

cleaning of the filter easier.

• Install the bulkhead fitting in the hole provided in the back of the

BioFalls

Filter. The rubber washer should be located on the

inside of the BioFalls

Filter. Tighten the nut on the outside until

the rubber washer begins to bulge. This should only be approxi-

mately one turn past hand-tight. Be careful not to over tighten the

nut, which could possibly crack the bulkhead. Please note that

the bulkhead fitting is reverse threaded. So, in other words, turn

the nut counterclockwise to tighten!

• Install the PVC slip fitting into the desired bulkhead to receive the

pump plumbing. The PVC plug fitting provided can be installed in

the 2nd bulkhead fitting if it is not going to be utilized. Use some

of the silicone sealant or teflon tape (not included) to coat the

threads of the fittings in order to help provide a watertight seal.

the yard. Simply remove a section of sod or a few inches of soil in

order to create a firm foundation for the BioFalls

DESIGN TIP - Keep the waterfall to the scale of the

yard! The goal should be to create the perception that

Mother Nature has installed the waterfall. Avoid creat-

ing a "volcanic look" by trying to raise the BioFalls

Filter in a flat backyard.

• Be sure to compact the area beneath the BioFalls

Filter is

ing a hand tamper or some other

heavy flat object that can be

pounded onto the soil. This will

help prevent any future settling.

• Use a 2' bubble level in order to

make sure your BioFalls

properly set into position. Your

BioFalls

Filter should be level

from side-to-side and tilt forward

at 1/4 of a bubble on a 2' level.

This will make sure the water

comes over the front of the Bio-

Falls

Filter and covers the entire spillway.
