Here we are redoing a small pond in front of a business. The

previous pond did not have a skimmer or AquaFalls filter.

The owners wanted the pond larger and a stream added.

Note the shape has been painted and skimmer, filter and

pipe are in position.

Be sure AquaFalls filter is installed level from

side to side and tipped forward

sure soil under filter is compacted to prevent

future settling.

EXCAVATING POND - Step 4

Ponds with a water depth of 24" or less are not typically subject

to local ordinances, therefore, most pond builders stay within

this depth. When excavating the hole you can dig a few inches

beyond the desired water depth as the stone put over the liner

will fill in the depth a few inches.

Ponds should be dug with a variety of shelf depths to accommo -

date plants. Marginal plants like water 1" to 12" deep while lilies

like a depth of 14"-20". Pockets can also be formed under the

liner to create areas to plant lilies in.

One of the most important things in building a pond is to make

sure the perimeter of the pond is level. If the perimeter is not

" to 1". Be

One of the first things to be done is to choose the shape

and location of the pond. Use an extension cord or

garden hose to determine pond shape. Once shape is

determined you can paint the outline of the pond. This

will allow you to layout the location of the skimmer,

AquaFalls and PVC pipe. Ideally the skimmer is located

at the opposite end of the pond from the AquaFalls filter.

This will create maximum circulation through the pond.

The final step before digging the pond is to connect the

PVC pipe to the AquaFalls filter. By laying the pipe on

the ground around the pond, you can use the dirt from

the pond to cover the pipe thus creating a berm to keep

runoff out of the pond and eliminating the need of dig-

ging a trench.

See "Installing AquaFalls Filter" page 5 for details on

installing filter. Only bulkhead and PVC fittings need

to be installed at this time.

Install fitting with rubber gasket on the

inside and the nut on the outside.

AquaFalls filters have inlets in each side.

Simply use the side that's most convenient

and plug the other side or add a ball

valve to make a drain for your filter. Apply a

small amount of silicone to the threads of the

plug before installing in second hole. Be sure

to install plug on the inside of the filter.

After both bulkheads are installed and the second

hole is plugged, apply silicone to the PVC male

adapter and turn into the bulkhead fitting. Be sure

both pipe and fitting are free of dirt, then apply

PVC primer to both followed by PVC glue. Insert

pipe into fitting and allow to set for several minutes

before burying.

Caution! Always call local utilities before you dig!
