STEP 10
LAY PLUMBING AND DIG TRENCH
• Lay your pipe around the perimeter of the basin. The pipe
will go from the Pondless
®
Waterfall Vault to the eventual
location of the Waterfall Spillway.
• Dig a trench for your pipe or cover it with soil, rocks or
mulch.
STEP 12
ADD ROCK AND GRAVEL
• Set larger boulders (6” – 18”) around the perimeter of the
basin on top of the AquaBlox
®
to support the edges of the
basin.
• Add 1 ½” to 2” size
gravel to cover the
AquaBlox
®
in the
basin.
• A finishing layer of
decorative gravel can
be added to the top if
desired.
STEP 11
HOOKING UP THE PUMP AND PLUMBING
• The AquaSurge
®
pump includes a wide
assortment of fittings to choose from,
for this application you will be using the
Rotational Ball fitting. The extremely
versatile Rotational Ball fitting provides
you the ability to adjust
the pump discharge to the
position that your waterfall
set-up requires. Loosening
the threaded collar allows
you to rotate the upper half
of the ball.
• A flat rubber washer seal
is included to ensure a
hand tight and leak-free
connection. Make sure
the flat rubber washer is in
place before installing the
fittings.
Do not use tools to install
the fittings into the pump
discharge. Fittings need to be only hand tight
.
• The kink-free pipe coming from the Waterfall Spillway can
be trimmed to proper length and inserted through the slot
on the side of the Pondless
®
Waterfall Vault.
• Lower the pump into the Pondless
®
Waterfall Vault and
rotate the Rotational Ball fitting to line up with the tubing.
Attach tubing to the fitting and then tighten hose clamp to
secure tubing onto the fitting.
• The cord from the pump can be buried just beneath the
stone and gravel and run to the electrical supply.
• Please note:
In some instances the tubing/hose
may be tight and difficult to use with hose fitting. If
this is the case heat the hose with the use of a hair
dryer or simply dipping the hose for a few seconds in
very hot water. Lubrication can also be used, such as
silicone grease or vegetable oil.
