CARE AND MAINTENANCE 

 

Before cleaning, always disconnect the pump connect to this waterfall spillway from the power 
source.   

 

Occasional cleaning of the filter pads will be necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the 
system. The filter pad is a designed to trap debris and particles. Filter pads should be removed and 
washed with clean water when they are visibly soiled.  

 

Filter pads should be replaced annually. The exterior surface of the cover may also need 
occasional cleaning. Particularly if the openings in the top of the cover are obstructed. When 
cleaning the cover use warm water only. Do not use any chemicals that may destroy the beneficial 
bacteria. 

 

The bio media balls in you filter system and the inside surfaces of the waterfall spillway contain the 
beneficial bacteria. At least once a year the entire system should be disassembled and cleaned 
thoroughly using warm, soapy water (mild detergent). This should not be done during the warm 
season as it may take up to 8 weeks to re-establish the environmental balance. The best time of 
the year to “breakdown” your system is in early spring before the water temperatures begin to rise. 
This is also the ideal time to replace the filter pads.
