INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The ClearSpring™ Mini Waterfall Filter is designed to handle pumps up to 1,800
GPH & can filter ponds up to 1,000 gallons.
• Using soil, build an elevated area to partially bury the ClearSpring™ Mini.
• Place the ClearSpring™ Mini on top of the elevated area. Attach liner and weir to
ClearSpring™ Mini. See ATTACHING THE WEIR section for reference.
• Backfill the ClearSpring™ Mini with soil until firmly held in place. The ClearSpring™
Mini should slightly tilt forward and be level from side to side to promote proper flow
towards the weir.
• Secure the elevated area with soil, rocks, bricks or other reinforcements.
• Attach your pump to the open end of your plumbing. One end should already be
connected to the ClearSpring™ Mini (See the PREPARING THE CONNECTION
section for reference).
• Position and bury the tubing.
• Fill pond with water
• Plug in your pump and inspect water flow. Check for leaks and adjust if necessary.
• Finish your surrounding landscape with rocks, plants, mulch or other desired
landscaping material. For a natural look, use a Pond Logic
®
TrueRock™
(#510329) flat cover to disguise the open top. Call or visit thepondguy.com
for information on TrueRock™.
• Unplug your pump and install filter media (See ADDING FILTRATION COMPONENTS
below for reference).
• Restore power to your pump and enjoy your pond and waterfall.
ADDING FILTRATION COMPONENTS
The ClearSpring™ Mini utilizes bio balls and 2 filter pads to filter debris from your water.
Always install the filter media as shown in Figure 4.
ATTACHING THE WEIR
Your ClearSpring™ Mini comes with
two Weir options. Your choice of Weir
type is completely cosmetic and will
not effect the units performance.
• Choose your desired weir. Ensure
the gasket is firmly installed and
that the screw holes line up.
• Install gasket, weir, liner & bracket
in order shown in Figure 3.
TIP: Using fish safe 100% silicone
is always a good way of providing
a waterproof seal between joints.
