lation tools and press the exterior liner plate and liner against
the silicone and skimmer opening. Important: Make sure the
exterior liner plate is installed with three holes at the top and four
at the bottom.
• Fasten the exterior liner plate to the skimmer with the included
screws, using an awl or nail to puncture the liner through the
screw holes prior to threading in each screw. Start with the
two bottom middle screws followed by the top middle screw,
located between the liner installa-
tion tools. Then install the remain-
ing screws on the sides of the
skimmer opening.
• Remove the two liner installation
tools from the upper corners and
install the final two screws (see
Ex. 12).
• Using a knife or pair of scissors,
cut the liner opening along the
interior edge of the exterior liner
plate (see Ex. 13). Your skim-
mer liner plate installation is now
complete.
Optional Overflow Installation Instructions
• The built in overflow will allow
the water in an overflow situ
ation to flow through the pipe
and drain away from the pond.
Note: Use the 2" PVC plug to
plug the bulkhead if you do not
want the overflow option.
• Excavate a trench for a section
of PVC Flex pipe to come
off the back of the desired
bulkhead. The trench should
be no less than 5 feet from
the back of the skimmer and
graded away from the pond
(see Ex. 14).
• Create a drainage area at the
end of the pipe by excavating a
small pit, roughly 16" in diam
eter and at least 12" deep. Fill
the pit with excess gravel.

• Prime and glue a section of
PVC Flex pipe into the bulk
head and run it to the top of
the gravel pit. Cover the gravel
pit with a small section of
underlayment and top with soil.
Note: Install the overflow elbow
into the corresponding bulkhead
on the inside of the skimmer. Use
silicone or plumber's tape (not
included) on the threads prior to
installing the fitting. Handtighten
the fitting in the bulkhead as far
as possible with the overflow
arm in the highest position. The
final overflow adjustment can be
made once the final water level is
set using the adjustable skimmer
liner plate. See the section on
adjusting the adjustable faceplate
and overflow (page 8).

STEP 5
ADD ROCK AND GRAVEL
• Start from the bottom and set the largest character
boulders first against the vertical walls, then stack the
smaller boulders on top.
• Be careful not to damage the liner when placing boulders.
• The opening on the front of the skimmer can be hidden
by placing boulders on both sides and bridging a stone or
piece of driftwood across, creating a cave effect.
Note: Make sure the boulders do not block the water flow into
the skimmer.

Ex. 13
• Cover all remaining flat surfaces with a couple inches of
decorative gravel. This will help lock the boulders in place
and cover the remaining liner, protecting it from ultraviolet
rays and giving bacteria a place to colonize.
You can expect to use several tons of stone and gravel for a
complete water feature installation. Visit www.aquascapeinc.
com for information on calculating the required stone and
gravel. Below are some helpful formulas for choosing stone
and gravel for complete installations.
Stone Calculation for the Pond
Length (ft) x Width (ft) / 65 = Tons of boulders
Gravel Used in the Pond
Pond Gravel = 30% total tons of pond boulders
