STEP 1

SELECT & MARK OUT YOUR AREA

• When choosing the location for you new pond, we

recommend putting it near a deck or patio so you can sit

and relax close to your water feature. Also keep in mind

viewpoints from inside the house. Make your pond visible

from a kitchen window or patio door, giving you year round

enjoyment.

• We suggest that you use a garden hose to deﬁne the

shape of your new pond. The hose is ﬂexible, and can be

pushed and pulled in various shapes. Step back, evaluate

and modify your design until you have something that you

really like.

• Pond Kits are available in three sizes (4’x6’, 6’x8’, and

8’x11’). Double check to make sure the length and width of

your layout does not exceed the amount of liner included

with your kit.

• Once you have the

pond shaped and

deﬁned with the

hose, take a can

of brightly colored,

highly visible spray

paint and outline

the shape (around

the hose) on the

grass.

STEP 2

PLACE BIOFALL FILTER AND SKIMMER

• The Biofall 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 basin so you

can connect the pond liner to the Biofall ﬁlter.

• In order to maximize circulation, the Biofall and Skimmer are

ideally placed on opposite ends of the pond, directly across

from each other. (See Ex. 1)

Ex. 1

STEP 3

LAY PLUMBING

• To eliminate the need for making a trench for the pipe,

lay the kink-free pipe around the perimeter of the pond

basin. This should be completed before you begin your

excavation so the soil you remove from the pond can

cover the kink-free pipe, disguising it from sight.

(See Ex. 2)

STEP 4

HOOK UP AND LEVEL THE BIOFALL

• Install the bulkhead ﬁtting in the opening provided in the

back of the Biofall. The rubber gasket should be located

on the inside of the Biofall. Tighten the nut on the outside

until the rubber gasket 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. Turn the nut counterclockwise to tighten! (See

Ex. 3 & 4)

• Now install the barb ﬁtting included with the 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 included in your kit, to coat the threads of

the ﬁtting, in order to help provide a watertight seal.

• Now it’s time to position the Biofall in the desired location.

• The Biofall 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 Biofall 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

Biofall 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 Biofall is

properly set into position. Your Biofall should be level from
