Instructions

STEP 1

PLACE BIOFALLS FILTER

• If starting a new pond, the BioFalls filter will be used to

create your waterfall and should be positioned so it's

facing a main viewing area.

• Make sure it is placed close to the edge of the pond so

you can connect the pond liner to the BioFalls filter.

• If you are using the BioFalls filter on an existing pond,

you will need an extra piece of liner approximately 4' x 6'.

The extra liner should be long enough to attach to the

BioFalls

lip and have plenty left to hang over the side of

the pond to prevent water loss.

• If you are using the BioFalls in conjunction with a skimmer,

we recommend the BioFalls be placed directly across the

length of the pond from the skimmer.

STEP 2

HOOK UP AND LEVEL BIOFALLS

• Install the two bulkheads into the back of the Signature

Series BioFalls Filter (Ex. 1).

NOTE: The bulkhead fitting is reversed threaded. Ensure

that the rubber gasket is installed on the inside of the filter

(Ex. 1).

PVC Slip Fitting

• Tighten the nut on the outside until the rubber washer

begins to bulge, approximately one turn past hand-tight

(Ex. 2). Do not over-tighten the nut.

• The filter has two openings on the back, allowing several

plumbing options.

1. For single pump applications attach one pump

plumbing line into one bulkhead and utilize the plug or

optional drain kit (not included) in the other.

2. For double pump applications, attach each pump

plumbing line into a bulkhead.

• Install the PVC slip fitting into the desired bulkhead(s) to

receive the pump plumbing. To provide a watertight

seal, use silicone sealant (not included) or teflon tape

(not included) to coat the threads of the fittings.

NOTE: Use the angle of the outlets to your advantage by

using the bulkhead that works best with the direction of

the plumbing coming from the pump.

• For single pump applications with no drain kit, install the

included plug into the outside of the second, unused

bulkhead. If installing the optional drain kit (not included),

see page 5 for proper installation.

• Position the BioFalls Filter in the desired location. The

BioFalls Filter 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

BioFalls Filter to sit.

DESIGN TIP - Keep the waterfall to the scale

of the yard. The goal should be to create the

perception that Mother Nature has installed the

waterfall. Avoid creating a "volcanic look" by

Flex

trying to raise the BioFalls Filter in a flat backyard.

PVC

• Be sure to compact the area beneath the BioFalls Filter

box using a soil 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 to

make sure your BioFalls

Filter is properly set into

Ex. 1

position (Ex. 3). Your

BioFalls Filter should be level

from side-to-side and tilt

forward at 1/4 of a

bubble on a 2' level. This

will make sure the water

covers the entire spillway.

ATTACHING FLEXIBLE PVC PIPE

• The filter is now ready for the flexible PVC to be glued into

place using PVC cement specified for use with flexible

piping.

• If your PVC cement does not state that priming isn't

required, prime the inside of the PVC fitting and the outside

of the pipe where the flexible PVC cement will be applied.

Ex. 2

• 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).

Ex. 3

• 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.
