ATTACH LINER TO BIOFALLS
• For inward waterfall lip installation you will need to cut two
vertical slits into the liner along the left and right side of the
opening. The flap of liner can simply fall into the inside of the
BioFalls
Filter when attaching the waterfall lip
®
NOTE: Ignore this step if you are installing the waterfall lip outward and
proceed to the following step.
• Temporarily install the waterfall
lip and liner to the BioFalls
Filter loosely with the two top
corner screws and one center
screw below the waterfall lip.
Using an awl or nail, poke the
first hole through the waterfall
lip and liner penetrating into the
corresponding threaded insert
on the BioFalls
Filter. (see Ex.
®
5) Remove the awl or nail while
holding the waterfall lip and liner
in place, and begin threading
one of the screws into the filter
(see Ex. 6). Repeat this process
for the screw on the opposite
side. When installing the water-
fall lip inward we recommend in-
stalling a third temporary screw
at the center– most screw hole
along the bottom.
• Now remove the waterfall lip,
trying to keep the screws still
penetrating through the liner.
These screws will serve as your
guide when reinstalling the
waterfall lip. (see Ex. 7)
• Apply a thick bead of fish-safe
silicone sealant around the
BioFalls
Filter opening. The bead
®
should follow the path of the
threaded inserts. (See Ex. 8).
• Reattach the BioFalls
®
terfall lip using the pre-installed
screws as your guide. We
recommend threading the lower
center one first when installing
the waterfall lip in the inward
direction (see Ex. 9).
• With all temporary screws secured back into position, you may
now punch the remaining screw holes with the awl or nail and
thread in the remaining screws.
• Outward waterfall lip position will require the liner to be trimmed
back at this point.
• Let dry for at least one hour before introducing water!

INSTALLING THE FILTER PADS AND MEDIA
BAGS
The filter mats provided with the Signature Se-
ries
BioFalls
™
®
mats containing 50% more surface area than
normal filter mats, thereby allowing a greater
surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize
and help clean the water. The mats are simply
set on top of the filter support rack. Media bags and BioBalls
provided for additional filtration substrate. Fill the media bags with
BioBalls™ and spread out over the surface of the filter mat.
NOTE: Overfilling media bags will prevent them from spreading out over the
filter mats and will cause interference with the rock rack.

BUILD THE WATERFALL
Ex. 7
Before building the waterfall, you will need to do a
little preparation work. Please read the section about
Stream Construction on page 7 if you plan to create
a stream. Use QR code provided for more detailed
video instruction.
• Place two larger boulders on either side of the waterfall you are
creating in order to "frame" the waterfalls. The water will be run-
Ex. 8
ning between the two larger boulders you've set in place
(see Ex. 10).
• You can now begin to stack the rocks between the two larger
boulders. These are the rocks that the water will be running over,
so take your time and be creative. Start with the larger rocks on the
bottom and work your way up to the smaller ones on top.
