STEP 4
INSTALLING THE
SKIMMER
• The pump plumbing line
attaches into one bulkhead
and the optional overflow or
2" plug (if no overflow is
desired) can be added to
the other (Ex. 8). Use the
angle of the bulkheads to
your advantage by choosing the bulkhead that works
best with the direction you want to run your plumbing to
the BioFalls Filter.
• Install the PVC slip fitting into each bulkhead on the
outside of the skimmer to receive the pump plumbing and
optional overflow plumbing.
• Use some silicone sealant (#22010) or (#29186) or Teflon
tape (not included) to coat the threads of the fittings, in
order to help provide a watertight seal.
ATTACHING THE SKIMMER EXTERIOR LINER PLATE
NOTE: Power tools are not recommended for installing the
screws and may strip the nut inserts.
• Position the liner against the skimmer opening, making
sure there is slack below the opening. This will help reduce
tension on the exterior liner plate when placing boulders in
front of the unit.
• Mark the outer perimeter of
the skimmer opening on the
liner, and then mark a second
box 1.5" inside of it. This
ensures that you don't cut too
much of the liner, which would
result in a possible leak (Ex. 9).
• Cut the inner box using a pair
of scissors, and insert the
skimmer exterior liner plate
into the hole (Ex. 10).
• Place the liner around the
exterior liner plate and
temporarily install the exterior

liner plate and liner to the
skimmer. Using an awl or nail,
poke the first hole through the
liner in one of the upper
corners. 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
the exterior liner plate and liner

in place and begin threading
one of the screws into the
filter. Repeat this process with
the other upper corner
(Ex. 11).
• Now remove the exterior
liner plate from the skimmer,
keeping the screws installed
through the exterior liner plate
and liner (Ex. 12).
• Apply a bead of fish-safe

silicone sealant (#22010) or
(#29186) around the
skimmer opening, over the
nut inserts (Ex. 13). Pre-
installing the two screws in
the earlier steps will make it
easy to line up the skimmer
exterior liner plate after the
silicone is applied and will
keep the silicone in as thick
of a bead as possible.
• Replace the skimmer exterior liner plate and the two
corner screws, and then proceed with the bottom two
corners. Make sure the holes in the exterior liner plate that
the weir flap clicks into are on the bottom.
• With the four corners secured,
you may now punch the
remaining holes with your awl
and thread in all the screws.
Again, be careful not to
damage the threads on the
nut inserts (Ex. 14).
• Let dry for at least one hour
before introducing water.
OPTIONAL OVERFLOW INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ex. 9
• The built-in overflow will allow the water in an overflow
situation to flow through the pipe and drain away from the
pond. Use the 2" 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 (Ex. 15).
