Installation
STEP 1
PLACE BIOFALLS FILTER
• If starting a new pond the BioFalls filter will be used to
create your waterfall and should be positioned so it's
facing a main viewing area.
• Make sure it is placed close to the edge of the basin so
you can connect the pond liner to the BioFalls filter. You
will need additional liner if creating a stream between the
BioFalls and pond.
• If you are using the BioFalls filter on an existing pond, you
will need an extra piece of liner approximately 4' x 6'. The
extra liner should be long enough to attach to the BioFalls
lip and have plenty left to hang over the side of the pond
to prevent water loss.
• If you are using the BioFalls in conjuction with a skimmer.
We recommend the BioFalls be placed directly across the
length of the pond from the Skimmer to maximize water
circulation (Ex. 1).
STEP 2
HOOK UP AND LEVEL THE BIOFALLS
• Install the bulkhead fitting in the opening provided in the
back of the BioFalls. The rubber gasket should be located
on the inside of the BioFalls (Ex.1). Tighten the nut on
the outside until the rubber gasket begins to bulge. This
should only be approximately one turn past hand-tight. Be
careful not to over tighten the nut, which could possibly
crack the bulkhead. Please note that the bulkhead fitting is
reverse threaded. Turn the nut counterclockwise to tighten
(Ex. 2).

• Now install the barb fitting included with the kit into the
bulkhead fitting. A PVC slip fitting has also been included
in case you are using flexible PVC pipe. Use some silicone,
sealant to coat the threads of the fitting, in order to help
provide a watertight seal (Ex.3).
Bulkhead
• Now it's time to position the BioFalls in the desired
location.
• The BioFalls should be set at or slightly below the grade of
the yard. Simply remove a section of sod or a few inches
of soil in order to create a firm foundation for the BioFalls
to sit.
TIP: Keep the waterfall to the scale of the yard!
The goal should be to create the perception
that Mother Nature herself has constructed
the waterfall. Avoid creating a "volcanic look"
by trying to raise the BioFalls too high in a flat
backyard.
• Be sure to compact the area beneath the BioFalls box
using a hand tamper or some other heavy flat object that
Ex. 1
can be pounded onto the soil. This will help prevent any
future settling.
• Use a 2' bubble level in order to make sure your BioFalls
is properly set into position. Your BioFalls should be level
from side-to-side and tilt forward ¼ of a bubble on a 2'
level (Ex. 4). This will make sure the water comes over the
front of the BioFalls and covers the entire spillway.
