STEP 4

PD/PL

Hook up and level the MicroFalls

• The first step is to install the bulk-

head fitting in the hole provided

in the back of the MicroFalls

rubber washer should be located

on the inside of the MicroFalls

Tighten the nut on the outside until

the rubber washer begins to bulge.

This should only be approximately

one turn past hand-tight. Be

careful not to over tighten the

nut, which could possibly crack

the bulkhead. Please note that

the bulkhead fitting is reverse

threaded. So, in other words,

turn the nut counterclockwise to

tighten! (See figs. 4 & 5)

• Now install the barb fitting

included with your kit into the

bulkhead fitting. A PVC slip fitting

has also been included in case you

are using flexible PVC pipe. Use

some of the silicone sealant to coat

. The

the threads of the fitting, in order

to help provide a watertight seal.

• Now it's time to position the Micro-

Falls

in the desired location.

• The MicroFalls

should be set at

or slightly below the grade of the

yard. Simply remove a section of

sod or a few inches of soil in order

to create a firm foundation for

the MicroFalls

to sit. Design tip

- Keep the waterfall to the scale

of the yard! The goal should be to

create the perception that Mother

Nature herself has constructed

the waterfall. Avoid creating a

"volcanic look" by trying to raise

the MicroFalls

in a flat backyard.

• Be sure to compact the area

beneath the MicroFalls

box using

a hand tamper or some other heavy

flat object that can be pounded

onto the soil. This will help prevent

any future settling.

• Use a 2' bubble level in order

to make sure your MicroFalls

is properly set into position. Your

MicroFalls

should be level from

side-to-side and tilt forward ¼ of a

bubble on a 2' level. This will make

sure the water comes over the front

of the MicroFalls

and covers the

entire spillway.

(See fig. 6)

• The filter is now ready for the

kink-free pipe and hose clamp to

be slipped onto the pipe fitting.

side to side as well as front to back.

The connection is designed to be

tight and it may take some force

to get the pipe on the barb fitting.

Twisting the pipe clockwise may

help thread the pipe onto the

fitting. Have someone hold the

MicroFalls

in place in order to

prevent it from shifting out of level.

Once installed, the hose clamp can

be tightened to secure the pipe on

the fitting. (See figs. 5 & 7)

• Double check to make sure the

MicroFalls

is still level after

installing the plumbing.
