Aquascape Pro Signature BioFalls 6000 Anleitung und Wartung

• Small stones and gravel can be used to fill the gaps between the

larger waterfalls stones. (See Ex. 11)

• The BioFalls

Filter is designed with a plastic lip for the water

to cascade off. You can use the BioFalls

stone or even piece(s) of thin (no more than 3/4" thick) natural

slate (see Ex. 13). This stone can be attached to the BioFalls

Filter using Black Waterfall Foam. The Black Waterfall Foam will

come in handy when filling other gaps between the stones that

water is flowing over. The foam keeps the water flowing over the

top of the waterfall stones. Without the Black Waterfall Foam,

you will lose some of the impact of your waterfall as water travels

beneath the rocks.

port rack that also serves as an easy way to help disguise the

filter into the landscape using small boulders, aquatic plants, and

gravel. Arrange the stones, gravel, and plants in the rack in such

a way as to hide the back and top of the filter.

• The rack sits in the upper portion of the BioFalls

mats can be removed for annual cleaning through the wider

opening at the front of the rack.

BUILDING A STREAM (OPTIONAL)

• Placing the BioFalls

always a good idea. This allows the creation of a meander-

ing stream to add a touch of nature to your water garden.

• We typically place the BioFalls

edge of the pond. Twisting and turning the stream makes

it look more natural and will require a minimum 10' x 15'

piece of liner

(see Ex. 12).

• The typical width of a stream should be between 2 - 4 feet

wide. Vary the width of the stream throughout to mimic

what would occur in nature

• Excavate the stream to a depth of 6 inches to 1 foot. Vary

the depth in the corners and in smaller pools along the run

of the stream to allow water to pool in those areas.

• If your stream is being built on a slope, you will need to cre-

ate a few waterfalls in it. To hold the water back when the

pump is shut off, you need to build a dam at each waterfall.

(See Ex. 14 a,b,c)

• To make the stream look more natural, you should place

some larger boulders into it. To make this work properly,

excavate the area where the rock will be placed a few

inches deeper. This will allow the rock to sit into the bottom

of the stream, not just on the streambed.

• Once you have the stream excavated, you can place the

liner into it.

• Where the liner overlaps the pond, you will not need to

seam the liners together as long as you have a 6-inch wa-

terfall or higher. Simply overlap the stream liner over the top

of the pond liner.

• Place rocks of varying sizes around the perimeter of the

stream. During excavation of the stream, you dug a few

areas where larger rocks will go. Put some of the Black

Waterfall Foam into these divots and place the rocks on

top. The foam will allow the water to be diverted around

and over the rocks instead of underneath them.
