GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR WATERFALL USE

1.  Unpack the product, wipe off dust with a damp cloth. Take out all 

accessories: A clear ballpump and adapter assembly. 

2.  Familiarize yourself with the pump. The switch located at the front of it 

controls the water flow. The flow is indicated by a max and min sign. To 

increase flow, move switch in the direction of max. To decrease flow, move

the switch toward min. 

CAUTION: This pump has been evaluated for use with water only.

NOTE: It is recommended the pump be set at its highest flow during

assembly and later adjusted to a lower setting if desired. Be sure to

unplug pump before adjusting flow setting.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

• Do not connect to any voltage other than that shown on the pump.

• This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type 

attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is 

connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.

• The national electric code requires that a ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI) be used in the branch circuit supplying fountain pumps and other pond 

equipment. See your electrical supplies dealer for this device.

• If the supply cable is damaged it can not be replaced and the pump unit should be discarded.

WARNING: RISK OF FIRE

• Do not use with water above 30˚C.

• Do not pump flammable liquids.

3.  Attach the pump to the connector tube on the Waterfall and attach the AC adapter

jack to the base power cord. Put wires through the notch in the top of the Waterfall.  

DO NOT plug into outlet at this time.

NOTE: Do not let pump run when NOT submerged in water. Doing so may damage the pump. Always submerge

the pump in water first, and then plug in the unit. 
4.  Fill base with distilled water to approximately 1/2" above pump. Use distilled water only. Tapwater will create mineral 

deposits that will result in the corruption of the Waterfall and pump.

5. Place the top of Waterfall on base properly. Place the ball on top of Waterfall.

6.  Plug adapter into 120V household outlet.  
WARNING: Ball is not a toy. Keep out of reach of Children and Pets.
Do not remove ball while Waterfall is in operation because water will spray out.
NOTE: Ensure that the electrical cord loop is below the electrical outlet.” This will prevent water from running 

down the cord into the electrical outlet.

MAINTAINING CLEANLINESS AND LIFE OF WATERFALL & PUMP

1. Ensure water pump is kept clean and free of debris. We recommend

using distilled water with this product. 
NOTE: To clean pump, first make sure pump is UNPLUGGED 

from 120V circuit and remove front plate. Check for and 

remove dirt and debris from impeller. Reassemble.

2. Periodically change water and clean the structure of the waterfall 

with a mixture of vinegar and cold clean water. 

3. Add water to waterfall periodically to keep water level at an optimum 

level (approximately 1/2” above pump) to avoid shortening the life of 

the pump. Water level should completely cover pump at all times. 

NOTE: Never let the pump run dry. This will shorten the life of the pump.

4. To store waterfall after use, unplug the waterfall from the electrical outlet, empty the water, and store in a cool dry 

place.
