CHOOSING THE CORRECT PUMP
A good rule of thumb for garden ponds from 100 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 HY-Drives and Pro 2100 and 2600 pumps for greater head heights; and for
even greater flows our Pro 3200-XP. See Pro 3000 Pump Chart Below

* Watts decrease as pump loads increase during normal usage. Examples show range from 0’ to shut-off; watts continue to decrease as flow decreases.
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
then be 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, slide Rubber
Gasket (1) over Bulkhead Fitting (2) and insert through
opening in Waterfalls box wall (3). Place thinner Rubber
Gasket (4) over Bulkhead threads before attaching Nut (5).
Wrap threads of fitting (6) with Teflon tape before
screwing into Bulkhead Fitting.
