Introduction

Thank you for choosing Atlantic's Color Changing Colorfalls. The Colorfalls are

designed for use in Pond-free and fountain applications. The Color Changing

Colorfalls feature a larger opening which produces a thicker water sheer and less

clogging from debris in the water, a remote controlled Color Changing LED light

bar, and a removable back plate that provides access to the interior of the spillway

for easy maintenance and winterizing.

Prior to Operation and Installation

Caution:

• DO NOT operate this product under any conditions other than those for which

it is specified. Failure to observe these precautions can lead to electrical shock,

product failure, or other problems.

• Follow all aspects of electrical codes when installing the Color

Changing Colorfalls.

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect only to a 110 volt receptacle

protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

• The input power to the Color Changing Control Module is 12 volt AC. The

Control Module can be connected to a larger outdoor lighting transformer;

however this must be done between the Control Module and the transformer.

Removing the Control Module or tampering with the cord between the Control

Module and the Colorfalls will damage the light bar and void warranty.

• The Control Module is weather resistant with an IP54 rating. Do not submerse

the Control Module or expose it to heavy rainfall. It must be mounted off the

ground close to the power source. Failure to do so will void the warranty.

• Colorfalls are designed for use in Pond-free and fountain applications.

Colorfalls are not intended for use in water gardens or any pond with

plant or aquatic life.

The ColorFalls must be accessible for service and maintenance. Installing the

ColorFalls so that the entire body is removable is highly recommended. Do not

glue the cap stones above the ColorFalls or permanently mortar the ColorFalls

in place.

The Colorfalls can support 40 lbs. per linear foot (e.g. a 24" Colorfalls can support

80 lbs.). If the weight on the weir exceeds that amount, you will need to provide a

lintel support for the added weight. This support should still make contact with the

weir to prevent it from shifting.

See the chart below for the recommended placement of the Colorfalls above the

basin or pool. If the placement of the Colorfalls exceeds the recommended height,

water loss will increase significantly due to splash and wind drift.

Installation of Color Changing Colorfalls

The opening in the wall where the Colorfalls will be placed is important to the

function of the Colorfalls. If it is not level and free of debris the Colorfalls will not

function properly. The base of Colorfalls body as well as the bottom of the spillway

lip must be supported by the

opening in which it is placed. The

Colorfalls Spillway must protrude

from the wall a minimum of ½"

and maximum of 1". The top side

of the opening must also be in

contact with the Colorfalls to

prevent it from shifting. See Figure

1 for the proper sizing of the

opening for the Colorfalls.

Plumbing A Single Colorfalls

Each ColorFalls spillway is

equipped with three convenient

1½" threaded inlets to

accommodate 1½" Sch 40 MPT

fittings. Choose one or more of

the three inlets for plumbing: you can either plumb directly into the back center

of the unit, or into both sides. (Plumbing the ColorFalls from one side only will

produce an uneven water sheer. Feed lines must be connected to both sides to

ensure an even water flow.) Close off the unused inlet(s) with the provided plugs.

The plugs have O-ring seals and can be installed without thread sealant.

Installing a ball valve (not included) on the feed line between the pump and the

Colorfalls is recommended for added control of water flow.
