• Now slide the exterior liner plate over the top two liner instal-

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.

Overflow diagram.

• 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. 12

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
