clamp to be slipped onto the

barb ﬁ tting. Have someone

hold the BioFalls

in place

in order to prevent it from

shifting out of level. In some

instances the tubing/hose

may be tight and difﬁ cult

to use with hose ﬁ tting

barbs. If this is the case, we

recommend heating the hose

with the use of a hair dryer or simply dipping the hose for

a few seconds in very hot water. Lubrication can also be

used; we recommend silicone grease or vegetable oil.

Once installed, the hose clamp can be tightened to secure

the pipe on the ﬁ tting.

• Double check to make sure the BioFalls

installing the plumbing.

• All of the soil removed from the excavation can be spread

and compacted around the BioFalls

ﬁ lter should be completely surrounded by soil by the end of

the project. Be sure to verify that the BioFalls

throughout the process.

NOTE: If installing into an existing pond. You may need to bring in extra

dirt to backﬁ ll and create a berm around the BioFalls

ATTACH LINER TO THE BIOFALLS

WARNING

Power tools are not recommended for installing the

screws and may strip the nut inserts.

• Prior to installing the waterfall lip, make sure the face of the

ﬁ lter and liner is clean and free of dust and debris.

• Make sure there is at least 2 feet of liner on either side of

the BioFalls

• Have someone hold the liner against the BioFalls

you line up the waterfall lip over the liner. Make sure there

are no wrinkles and the liner comes up above the sides

of the BioFalls

help reduce tension on the

waterfall lip when placing

boulders in front of the unit.

(See Ex. 2)

• Temporarily install the

waterfall lip and liner to the

BioFalls

using the two

outermost screws. Using

an awl or nail, poke the ﬁ rst

hole in the liner all the way

through to the inside of the

BioFalls

. (See Ex. 2 & 3) Be

careful not to damage the

threads on the nut inserts

when punching the holes

with the awl. Remove the awl

or nail while holding waterfall

lip and liner in place and

begin threading one of the

screws into the ﬁ lter. (See Ex. 3)

• Repeat this process for the

other screw.

• Remove the waterfall lip from

the BioFalls

, keeping the

screws installed through the

waterfall lip and liner.

• Place a thick bead of silicone

(not included) across the

insert nuts on the front of the

BioFalls

(See Ex. 4). Pre-

installing the two screws in

the earlier steps will make it

easy to line up the waterfall

lip after the silicone is applied

and will keep the silicone

in as thick of a bead as

possible. (See Ex. 5)

• Reattach the waterfall lip and liner using the two pre-

installed screws. (See Ex. 6)

• Using an awl or nail, poke the remaining holes in the

waterfall lip and install the rest of the screws.

• Remove extra liner, using the waterfall lip as a guide. Install

the rest of the screws. (See Ex. 7)

• Let dry for at least one hour before introducing water.
