ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
Always use a properly grounded outlet. Do not immerse the plug in water. DO NOT REACH INTO THE
WATER TO REMOVE THE PLUG. TURN OFF CIRCUIT FIRST. A "drip loop" in the cords should be used. A
"drip loop" is a loop in the cord below the level of the receptacle or plug that prevents water from
traveling along the cord. The national Electric Code requires that a ground fault interrupter circuit
(GFCI) be installed in every branch circuit supplying the fountain or pond equipment. Your dealer can
supply GFCI units. NEVER REMOVE GROUND PIN FROM PLUG.
WARNING: FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE
INSTALLING OR SERVICING. DO NOT REACH, REMOVE OR DISASSEMBLE BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT POWER.
3. LOCATION OPTIONS
Your Waterfall box can be placed anywhere around your pond – inside the liner or at the liner perimeter.
Most of the time it is placed at the beginning of a stream. The important thing to remember is that all of
the water coming out of the filter must stay within the pond liner to avoid water loss. For maximum
circulation and aeration, your Waterfall box should be located on the side of the pond farthest from the
pump location. The Falls are designed to seal to any flexible EPDM, PVC, or Butyl Rubber liner for
leak-free service. Once you have determined the location of the filter, you should decide on the size of
the pump that will feed it. You might want a lot of water movement in a rushing stream or powerful
waterfall, or you may prefer a quieter flow or gentle trickle. Once you have decided on the effect you
wish to achieve, you can choose a suitable pump.
CHOOSING THE CORRECT PUMP
A good rule of thumb for garden ponds from 100 to 2000 gallons is to circulate the entire volume of the pond
every 1-2 hours to ensure good circulation while providing enough flow for an aesthetically pleasing waterfall,
stream or fountainhead. Your Pro3000 Filter and Falls was therefore designed to perform equally well with
pumps of 250 to 2000 GPH capacity.
We recommend our Pondmaster 250, 350, 500, 700, and 950 submersible pumps for smaller ponds under 1000
gallons; our 950, 1200, 1800, and 2000 GPH pumps for greater head heights.
