Oasis FastFalls Installation

SETTING THE SP1600

Place the Oasis FastFalls on a level bed of undisturbed soil if possible, to avoid settling. If

installing above existing grade, compact the area thoroughly. This critical step will ensure

that the FastFalls will not settle out of level over time. Blocks or bricks set on virgin soil can

also be used to raise the FastFalls while reducing the chance of settling.

Place the FastFalls right at the pond's edge to create a single dramatic fall, or pull the

FastFalls back from the edge to create a stream. Leave plenty of liner around the FastFalls to

make it easy to camouflage with rock later.

To ensure a leak-proof installation, test

place the FastFalls in the desired

location and level it from side-to-side

and front-to-back. The closed design of

the FastFalls ensures that water will only

exit the unit over the spillway, so there is

no need to tilt the FastFalls forward.

When you are satisfied with the

placement of the FastFalls, remove

the unit and install the liner and

underlayment, being careful not to

disturb the level base. Place the

FastFalls on top of the liner in its original

position. Check the unit for level to

ensure that nothing has changed. Once

the FastFalls is level and positioned correctly, place a couple of large stones on top of the

FastFalls. This will ensure that the FastFalls does not move when backfilling and attaching

liner (Figure D).

LINER AND PLUMBING ATTACHMENT

Hold the liner up against the flat panel on the back of the Oasis FastFalls enclosure. Leave

some excess slack in the liner below the spinweld. This will help alleviate any future strain on

the liner connection. Make sure the back surface of the FastFalls, and the back side of the

liner is clean and free of debris. Once you are satisfied with the position of the liner, lower it

down and prepare to apply the silicone sealant (Figure E).
