Plumbing the Waterfall

Plumbing

Recommendations

Use multiple pumps when installing multiple waterfalls.

The dedicated pump should be plumbed with a minimum of 2″ PVC pipe.

VGB compliant suction covers must be used and they must be installed 18” above the bottom of the pool.

A filter strainer is required between the pump and the waterfall.

Install the supplied Rock Trap (25577-950-000) just before the water line reaches thew waterfall inlet. The Rock Trap does not replace a filter.

Balancing the Flow

Use a 3-way valve after the pump to allow the flow to be regulated between the waterfall and the pool return.

Location placement for this valve is after the filter, near the equipment pad.

 

Basic Plumbing Diagram

When plumbing two or more waterfalls, follow all of the previous instructions with the addition of a 2-way ball valve for each waterfall.

The valve is necessary to balance the water flow between the units.
