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
®
will need additional liner if
creating a stream between the BioFalls
• If you are using the BioFalls
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
We recommend the BioFalls
length of the pond from the Skimmer to maximize water
circulation.
STEP 2
HOOK UP AND LEVEL THE BIOFALLS
• Install the bulkhead fitting in the opening provided in the
back of the BioFalls
®
on the inside of the BioFalls
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.

be placed directly across the

. (See Ex.1) Tighten the nut

• 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. (See Ex.1)

• Now it's time to position the BioFalls
location.
• The BioFalls
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.
®
Design 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
• Be sure to compact the area beneath the BioFalls
using a hand tamper or some other heavy flat object that
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
from side-to-side and tilt forward ¼ of a bubble on a 2'
level. This will make sure the water comes over the front of
the BioFalls
• The filter is now ready for the kink-free pipe and hose
