• Replace the skimmer liner plate
and the two corner screws, and
then proceed with the bottom
two corners. Make sure the
holes in the liner plate that the
weir fl ap clicks into are on the
bottom.
• With the four corners secured,
you may now punch the re-
maining holes with your awl and
thread in all the screws. Again,
be careful not to damage the
threads on the nut inserts
(see Ex. 11).
• Let dry for at least one hour
before introducing water.
Optional Overfl ow Installation Instructions
• The built in overfl ow will allow
the water in an overfl ow situation
to fl ow through the pipe and
drain away from the pond. Use
the 2" plug to plug the bulkhead
if you do not want the overfl ow
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 ft. from the back of the
skimmer and graded away from
the pond (See Ex. 12).

• Create a drainage area at the
end of the pipe by excavating a
small pit, roughly 16 inches in
diameter and at least 12 inches
deep. Fill the pit with excess
gravel.
• Prime and glue the section of
PVC Flex pipe into the slip fi tting
and run it to the top of the gravel
pit. Cover the gravel pit with a
small section of underlayment
and top with soil.

STEP 5
ADD ROCK AND GRAVEL
You can expect to use several tons of stone and gravel
for your water feature. Visit www.aquascapeinc.com for
information on calculating the required stone and gravel.
Below are some helpful formulas for choosing the stone and
gravel.
Stone Calculation for the Pond
Length x Width / 65 = Tons of boulders
Gravel Used in the Pond
Pond Gravel = 30% total tons of pond boulders
• Start from the bottom and set the largest character
boulders fi rst against the vertical walls, then stack the
smaller boulders on top.
• Be careful when placing any large boulders to avoid
damaging.
• The opening on the front of the skimmer can be hidden
by placing boulders on either side and bridging a stone or
piece of driftwood across, creating a cave effect.
Note: Make sure the boulders do not block the water fl ow into
the skimmer.
• Cover all remaining fl at surfaces with a couple inches of
decorative gravel. This will help lock the boulders in place,
as well as cover the remaining liner, protecting it from
ultraviolet rays and giving bacteria a place to colonize.
