Installation1. For maximum water flow, it is recommended that the

largest tubing size for your pump is used. ○ If needed, cut the adapter as shown using a hacksaw;

consult packaging for tubing size.

2. Assemble the Diverter, Gasket, and Adapter

1.

3. Select a level location to place the waterfall spillway. ○ Begin by building a base with the desired waterfall

height.

4. Place the spillway onto the base. NOTE: It is very important that the spillway is level, so be sure to check that the structure is level from front to back as well as left to right.

5. Connect tubing to the outlet adapter. Connect the other side of the tubing to the pump. Place the pump in the pond.NOTE: Tubing and pump are not included.

6. Continue building the rest of the structure. Carefully cover the waterfall spillway and tubing with natural material for a professional look.NOTE: Design the structure to fit the tubing through the back without any kinks.

Issue Cause Solution

The unit is not performing

Pump power supply not connected

Connect pump power supply

Inappropriate pump size Check box for proper pump size

Insufficient flow Spillway blocked Check outlet on spillway for blockage

Tubing blocked Clean or replace tubing

Tubing kinked Eliminate kink, replace tubing if it is damaged

Excessive flow loss in the tubing due to friction

Reduce tubing length to reduce frictional loss

Pump is clogged Check and clean pump

Troubleshooting

● The basic rule of thumb is that you need 100 GPH of flow for every 1 in. of width for your waterfall.○ Example: if you have an 8 in. wide waterfall and the waterfall is at a height of 5 ft., then you need a pump to

be able to deliver 800 GPH at 5 ft.● If you prefer a more subtle flow of water, cut the flow rate in half, making 50 GPH your target for every 1 in. of

waterfall width.● If you prefer a more robust flow of water, double the flow rate, making 200 GPH your target for every 1 in. of

waterfall width.● Don’t forget to take friction loss into account when selecting the pump. For this reason it is recommended to

use a dedicated pump that is plumbed directly to the waterfall and a separate pump for filters and water features.
