• After priming, apply the
cement to the fitting and the
PVC pipe and fit the two
pieces together (Ex. 4).
• Hold the pipe into the fitting
for at least 60 seconds to
allow the glue to slightly set.
• Wait 10-15 minutes to let
the glue completely set
before you begin to bury the filter.
INSTALLING OPTIONAL DRAIN KIT
• If desired, a filter drain
kit (#29015) is available
separately. The kit can be
attached to the second
bulkhead on single pump
applications (Ex. 5),
allowing the ability to
conduct water changes
and easy filter cleaning.
• Install the PVC slip fitting
into the second bulkhead.
To provide a watertight
seal, use silicone sealant
(not included) or teflon tape
(not included) to coat the
threads of the fitting.
• Prime and glue a section of
flexible PVC pipe into the
PVC slip fitting.
• Prime and glue the ball
valve to the flexible PVC
pipe (Ex. 6).
• Prime and glue the desired
length of flexible PVC pipe
into the other side of the
ball valve. Then, run the
pipe to the desired
location to discharge the
water during cleaning
(Ex. 7).
• Prime and glue the gray
valve fittings and 24" pipe
onto the top of the valve
(Ex. 8).
NOTE: The 24" pipe can
be cut to the desired length once all of the soil is built up
around the filter.
BACKFILL THE BIOFALLS FILTER
• Before you start to backfill around the filter, install the filter
support rack and rock tray. Otherwise, you may not be
able to get it in place.

• We also recommend having someone stand inside the
filter to keep it in place and level while it's being backfilled.
• The excavated soil from the pond can be backfilled around
the sides and back of the BioFalls Filter, creating a berm.
• Tamp the soil while backfilling to reduce settling. Any
additional soil can be spread around the far side of the
pond to create a planting bed for perennials and annuals.
Ex. 4
NOTE: If installing into an existing pond, you may need to
bring in extra dirt to backfill and create a berm around the
BioFalls.
• Double-check to make sure the BioFalls Filter is still level
after installing the plumbing.
STEP 3
ATTACH LINER TO BIOFALLS FILTER
• There are two options when attaching the lip for the
Signature Series BioFalls Filter:
Ex. 5
1. The reversible waterfall lip can be attached facing
outward. This method is recommended for first-time
installers, providing a solid ledge cantilevering off the
front of the BioFalls Filter to build the waterfall (Ex. 9).
Ex. 6
2. The reversible waterfall lip can also be attached facing
inward. This method allows more creativity when
constructing the waterfalls, allowing the designer a flat
unobstructed BioFalls Filter face for placing large
Ex. 7
boulders on the left and right side of the unit (Ex. 10).
Ex. 8
• Prior to installing the waterfall lip, make sure the face of
the BioFalls Filter and liner is clean and free of dust and
debris. Use a damp towel to clean both surfaces. Make
sure both surfaces are dry before the next step.
• Hold the liner up against the face of the BioFalls Filter,
covering the U-shape spillway opening. Be sure to leave
slack at the base of the filter to avoid stretching the liner
when rocks are stacked to build the waterfall.
