PLUMBING THE PS3900

The PS3900 Skimmer has pump discharge

step fittings molded into each side of the

skimmer enclosure. The step fittings are

labeled for 1 ½" or 2" PVC pipe and have

cut lines molded in for each size (Figure 9).

Choose the step fitting on the side of the

skimmer that will be best suited to exit based

on this installation. Using a PVC saw or

standard hack saw, remove the end of the

step fitting (making sure to follow the molded

cut line) for the size pipe used for this water feature. Once completed, push one end of the

PVC supply line through the step fitting allowing approximately 10" of pipe to enter the

skimmer enclosure.

It is recommended that you install a TR215CV Triton Check Valve between the pump and the

supply line. This valve will prevent the FilterFalls from draining when the pump is off, which

keeps the beneficial bacteria alive and any debris that the FilterFalls has collected from back

flowing into your pond. Refer to the Triton Check Valve installation instructions on page 15

for further details.

A drill point is provided on both sides of your Oasis Skimmer to show the proper location

for the installation of an AF1000 Auto Fill valve (not included). See the Auto Fill installation

instructions on page 16 for more information. There is a drill-point provided on the back of

Oasis Skimmer to show the proper location and elevation for the installation of an overflow

(not included). See the Overflow installation instructions on page 16 for more information.

Oasis FilterFalls Installation

BULKHEAD INSTALLATION

It is a good idea to install the bulkhead fitting and 1 ½" MTA (included) before setting

the BF1600. If 2" flexible PVC is being used for the supply line, replacing the 1 ½" HA1550

bulkhead with an Atlantic 2" HA2000 bulkhead (not included) is recommended.

Remove the retaining nut and plastic friction washer, leaving the rubber gasket on the

body of the bulkhead fitting. Note that the retaining nut is reverse threads. Turn clockwise

to loosen.

From the inside of the FilterFalls, insert the threaded end of the bulkhead into the hole on

the back of the enclosure. This will sandwich the rubber gasket between the flange of the

bulkhead and the inside wall of the enclosure. Slip the friction washer over the threaded

end of the bulkhead on the outside of the enclosure and install the retaining nut. Tighten

the retaining nut by hand and then finish off with a half turn from a wrench. Note that the

retaining nut is reverse threads. Turn counterclockwise to tighten.

SETTING THE BF1600

It is always recommended that the FilterFalls be placed on undisturbed soil if possible. If

the installation calls for the FilterFalls to be elevated above existing grade, it is critical to

compact the area thoroughly. This will ensure that the FilterFalls will not settle out-of-level

over time. The use of cinder blocks or bricks under the falls to raise it up will help reduce

the chance of settling.

The FilterFalls can be placed adjacent to the pond edge to create a single waterfall, or

pulled away from the pond to create a streambed effect. Refer to the surface area

recommendations on page 4 to ensure that the streambed is properly sized.
