After making sure all plumbing fittings
are properly installed, fill the basin with
water. Install basin supports and lid according
to basin assembly instructions. The spillway
should be tested for proper operation when
the wall construction allows. Before final wall
installation and covering the basin with rock, the
proper flow of the waterfall should be adjusted
(if needed) with the ball valve on the pump
discharge assembly.

Assemble the
pump discharge
assembly into the
3
/
4
" bulkhead fitting
in the side of the
basin. Make sure
the bulkhead is
installed so the rubber gasket is inside the tub
and the nut with the plastic washer is outside
the tub. Take care not to cross thread or over
tighten the pump outlet assembly. Since this
connection should always be below water,
Teflon tape and over tightening is not required.

Install the
3
/
4
" swivel
fitting onto the
pump then carefully
lower the pump into
the basin. Connect
the pump discharge
assembly with the
3
/
4
" swivel fitting and ensure all connections are
snug.

Install
reducing
male adaptor in
bulkhead fitting on
outside of basin.
Wrap male threads
of fitting with
Teflon tape. Before
gluing black flexible PVC pipe verify all fittings
are tight. Place basin into position, cut the
black flexible PVC pipe to length and glue into
reducing male adaptor.

Once proper
adjustment
of the spillway has
be determined, put
the pump cover in
place. The power
cord for the pump
can run through
the notch in the pump cover. The pump cover
can be placed in position as shown or reversed.
Place the splash mat underneath the waterfall.

Finish
construction
of the block wall
and any other
decorative stone
covering the basin.
Be sure to leave
rock off the area
of the splash mat
on the basin where
the water naturally wants to fall. This will reduce
splash and help retain water in the basin.
Care:
The water used in the Vianti Falls system can be treated with EasyPro All-Season
Bacteria and EasyPro Barley Straw Extract to help prevent odors and keep the water
clear. A liquid algaecide such as Pond Care’s Algae Fix or Microbe-Lift’s Algaway 5.4 can
also be used. Use of chlorine is not recommended, as this may have negative impact on
the submersible pump parts.
If water flow appears to be less than normal, water may need to be added to the basin
(bubbles in the waterfall typically indicate low water in the basin). A physical inspection
of the pump may be necessary. Clean off any debris that may have accumulated on the
pump housing or inside the pump. Consult instructions of pump for more information.
Do not run pump dry.
Staining on the spillway should not be an issue. Surface staining can often be remedied
with baking soda and lime juice application or non-abrasive products such as Bar
Keepers Friend. Be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions and keep product from
entering water with fish and plants.
Should the splash mat need to be replaced, contact your local EasyPro dealer to
purchase replacement (part #HB11KM - 6" x 19" black splash mat).
