CONNECTING THE AQUAFALLS (continued)

INSTALLING PUMP - Step 10

Your pond kit includes a check valve assembly which allows water to be

pumped up to the filter but does not allow back-flow from the filter to skim -

mer. Thread the check valve assembly into the pump discharge. Place the

pump into the skimmer. If your check valve has a rubber boot, slide the

boot over the flexible PVC pipe and tighten clamp. If your check valve has

built in unions, glue the outlet onto the flexible PVC pipe.

OPTIONAL AUTOMATIC FILL VALVES

Automatic fill valves are a handy way to keep your pond water at the

correct level. The fill valve will replace water lost to evaporation or small

leaks so your pond maintains the correct level. You can connect a garden

hose or tee into your irrigation system.

There are several sizes of water fill valves available. Please contact your

EasyPro dealer for more information or to order.

can now be planted, depending on what was all included in your bid.

Once you are finished with the project and have thoroughly cleaned up you can invite the homeowners out and show them their

new pond! You should then take the time to show them the system, explain maintenance procedures and show them how to add

the bacteria. The dosage rate is on the bottle.

Determining actual gallons in your pond:

1. Time how many seconds it takes to fill a five gallon pail

Example: 30 seconds

2. Time how many minutes it takes to fill the pond

Example: 150 minutes

3. Divide the number of seconds from #1 by sixty to convert

from seconds to minutes

Example: 30 ÷ 60 = .5 minutes to fill a five gallon pail

4. To determine the gallons per minute, divide five (gallons) by

the minutes you figured out in #3

Example: 5 ÷ .5 = 10 gallons per minute

5. For your actual gallons in pond take the gallons per minute

from #4 and multiply by the minutes to fill pond from #2

Example: 10 x 150 = 1500 gallons in pond

The mini AquaFalls installs differently than the other AquaFalls filters. The filter tub and stone

lip are molded into one piece. The liner is held to the tub, under the lip, by a plastic strip

and five bolts. Place a bead of silicone over the bolt inserts, hold up liner, then attach plastic

strip to tub with bolts and washers.

There is only one inlet hole on the mini filters. Install the bulk -

head fitting into the hole and tighten. A PVC male adapter is in -

cluded to connect the PVC pipe to the filter. Install filter stand,

filter pads and media bag as outlined on the previous page.

FILL, TWEAK & FINISH - Steps 11 & 12

Your pond is now installed and you can begin to fill with water. While you are waiting

for it to fill you can begin the clean up process. Once the pond has reached its filling

point (

"-1" below top of opening on skimmer) you can test the pump and water -

fall. Adjust rocks if necessary to create optimum visual effect. Once the system is

running you can go around the perimeter of the pond with a pair of scissors and trim

the liner. Always leave several inches of liner when trimming! Cover the exposed

liner around the perimeter of the pond with small stone.

The entire pond system is now complete. Any landscape mulch, plants, trees, etc.

The estimates below are based on a 2' deep pond. The

overall shape of the pond, the amount of plant shelves and

the finished depth will determine actual gallons.

APPROXIMATE GALLONS PER POND:

6' x 6' Pond .............400 Gallons

6' x 11' Pond ...........750 Gallons

8' x 11' Pond .........1000 Gallons

11' x 11' Pond .......1400 Gallons

11' x 16' Pond .......2000 Gallons
