○ After the pump has been connected the waterfall spillway
will start to fill up and then create waterfall
2. Switching off the pump: Disconnect the power plug.

Maintenance and cleaning

Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injury.
Protective measures: Prior to reaching into the water, disconnect the power supply to all units used in the water.
● Before cleaning, always disconnect the pump from the power source.
● At least once a year the entire system should be disassembled and cleaned thoroughly using warm, soapy water
(mild detergent).
Disposal

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause
The unit is not Pump power supply not
performing connected
Inappropriate pump size
Insufficient flow Spillway blocked
Tubing blocked
Tubing kinked
Excessive flow loss in the
tubing due to friction
Pump is clogged
●
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.
