1) The Nut is a left hand thread - turn counterclockwise
to tighten.
2) The nut has two different sized collars on its faces.
Install the nut onto the bulkhead fitting with the smaller
collar coming in contact with rigid washer (4).
3) Wrap threads of the 2” fitting with teflon tape before
screwing into Bulkhead Fitting.
CHOOSING THE CORRECT PUMP
A good rule of thumb for garden ponds from 1000 to 3000 gallons is to circulate the entire volume of the
pond every 1-2 hours to ensure good circulation while providing enough flow for an esthetically pleas-
ing waterfall, stream or fountainhead. Your Pro3000 Filter and Falls was therefore designed to perform
equally well with pumps of 1000 to 3000 GPH capacity.
We recommend our Pondmaster 1200 and 1800 submersible pumps for smaller ponds under 1000 gallons;
our 2000 and 3000 magnetic drive pumps and Pro 2100 and 2600 pumps for greater head heights; and for
even greater flows our Pro 3200.

PLUMBING
Note that it is often easiest to plumb the flexible hose to the
Waterfall Box and set BOTH in position BEFORE
excavating the pond. The soil from the pond excavation
might be then used to cover the hose and backfill around the
Waterfall Box, saving time and effort.
NOTE: Some units are shipped with Bulkhead Fitting
assembled. If your unit requires assembly follow the steps:
