AquaScape 99774 Instructions & Maintenance

• The filter is now ready for

the kink-free pipe and hose

clamp to be slipped onto the

barb fitting. Have someone

hold the MicroFalls

in place

in order to prevent it from

shifting out of level. In some

instances the tubing/hose

may be tight and difficult to

use with hose fitting barbs.

If this is the case, we recommend heating the hose with

the use of a hair dryer or simply dipping the hose for a few

seconds in very hot water. Lubrication can also be used;

we recommend silicone grease or vegetable oil. Once

installed, the hose clamp can be tightened to secure the

pipe on the fitting.

• Double check to make sure the MicroFalls

installing the plumbing.

• All of the soil removed from the excavation can be spread

and compacted around the MicroFalls

The filter should be completely surrounded by soil by the

end of the project. Be sure to verify that the MicroFalls

remains level throughout the process.

NOTE: If installing into an existing pond. You may need to bring in extra

dirt to backfill and create a berm around the MicroFalls

STEP 3

ATTACH LINER TO THE MICROFALLS

WARNING

Power tools are not recommended for installing the

screws and may strip the nut inserts.

• Prior to installing the waterfall lip, make sure the face of the

filter and liner is clean and free of dust and debris.

• Make sure there is at least 2 feet of liner on either side of

the MicoFalls

• Have someone hold the liner against the MicroFalls

you line up the waterfall lip over the liner. Make sure there

are no wrinkles and the liner comes up above the sides

of the MicroFalls

. Be sure that you have a few inches of

slack liner along the front base of your MicroFalls

will help reduce tension on

the waterfall lip when placing

boulders in front of the unit.

(See Ex. 2)

• Temporarily install the

waterfall lip and liner to the

MicroFalls

using the two

outermost screws. Using

an awl or nail, poke the first

hole in the liner all the way

through to the inside of the

MicroFalls

. (See Ex. 2 & 3)

Be careful not to damage the

threads on the nut inserts

when punching the holes

with the awl! Remove the awl

or nail while holding waterfall

lip and liner in place and

begin threading one of the

screws into the filter. (See Ex. 3)

• Repeat this process for the

other screw.

• Remove the waterfall lip from

the MicroFalls

, keeping the

screws installed through the

waterfall lip and liner.

• Place a thick bead of silicone

(not included) across the

insert nuts on the front of

the MicroFalls

(See Ex. 4).

Pre-installing the two screws

in the earlier steps will make

it easy to line up the waterfall

lip after the silicone is applied

and will keep the silicone

in as thick of a bead as

possible. (See Ex. 5)

• Reattach the waterfall lip and liner using the two pre-

installed screws. (See Ex. 6)

• Using an awl or nail, poke the remaining holes in the

waterfall lip and install the rest of the screws.

• Remove extra liner, using thewaterfall lip as a guide. Install

the rest of the screws. (See Ex. 7)

• Let dry for at least one hour before introducing water!
