INSTALLING SKIMMER (continued)

There are two holes on the left side of the skimmer near the top, on the back wall*. The small hole is for the electrical cable. The

larger hole is for the flexible PVC pipe. Pipes up to 2" in diameter will fit through this opening. Because the hole is above the

water line, it is not necessary to have a bulkhead fitting or to seal around the pipe. The flexible PVC pipe should stick through the

back wall approximately 3" - 4" into the skimmer.

EasyPro skimmers are available with either a filter pad rack or a filter brush rack. With either style, slide rack into groove in

skimmer walls. When skimmer needs cleaning, the racks can be lifted out and rinsed off. Be sure to install the PVC frame into

the skimmer before backfilling the dirt around the outside of the skimmer. This frame is a support that keeps the side walls from

bowing in. Finally, install the debris net on the right side of the skimmer, in front of the opening. This will catch all leaves and

debris as it is pulled into the skimmer.

Skimmer w/Filter Pad • Part #PS1V

*Note: The EasyPro mini skimmer installs similar to the large skimmers but due to its compact size has outlet holes on the sides

of the skimmer tub. Install the flexible PVC pipe into either side hole. Use the opposite hole for the electrical cord. The hole in the

back wall of the skimmer is the overflow. Install bulkhead and and PVC male adapter into this hole. This skimmer is also available

with filter brushes.

and washers in the top hole on each side. This will keep liner in place while installing the rest

of the bolts. Once all bolts are in, trim out the liner in the waterfall opening. Because our

lip and rock are molded into one piece no foam is needed! If, however, you want to use

a piece of real rock over the simulated rock provided, you will need to place a double

bead of foam in between the rocks to prevent water leakage. Place the legs on the filter

stand and place stand up in the bottom of the filter. Place the filter pads on the stand.

Fill each black media bag full of your media choice (Bio-Blox, Filter Floss, Bio-Balls,

Ultra Bio-Media, etc.) or

filter. We recommend bio-medias over lava rock which is heavy and

makes filter cleaning much harder. Also, lava rock is high in mineral

content which can add to the nutrient load in the pond. Bio-medias are

lightweight, have no adverse affect on the water quality and are long

lasting. Camouflage the filter by placing rocks around the ledge of the

filter. Use black foam to help hold rocks in place.

Also, feel free to set rock on the media bags. This

helps break up the square look to the filter. If you

are using the optional rock grate, install it now.

A piece of real rock can be placed over the rock

lip for a more realistic look. Be sure the rock is

a thin piece and be sure the rock is supported

by the waterfall rocks underneath the stone lip.

Using too heavy of a rock could pull the stone lip

away from the filter allowing water to leak out.

Whether you have another piece of liner for a stream or place the

AquaFalls directly beside the pond, the liner must be long enough

to reach to the top of the filter and leave several inches of slack to

keep the weight of the rocks from pulling the liner loose. To con -

nect the liner, simply apply a thick bead of silicone around the

opening of the AquaFalls filter then hold the liner up to the front of

the filter (again a second person works best). Place the stone lip up

to the opening and line up the top holes with an awl. Place bolts

The optional rock grate is

ideal for covering the top of the

filters. Set rocks and plants on the

grate to conceal the filter.
