of Colorfalls body as well as the bottom of the spillway lip must be supported by the opening
in which it is placed. The Colorfalls Spillway must
Figure 1
protrude from the wall a minimum of ½" and
maximum of 1". The top side of the opening must
also be in contact with the Colorfalls to prevent it
from shifting. See Figure 1 for the proper sizing of
the opening for the Colorfalls.
Plumbing A Single Colorfalls
½"
4"
3⅜"
Each Colorfalls spillway is equipped with three
convenient 1½" threaded inlets to accommodate
1½" Sch 40 MPT fittings. Choose one or more of
the three inlets for plumbing: you can either plumb
4"
directly into the back center of the unit, or into
both sides. (Plumbing the Colorfalls from one side
only will produce an uneven water sheer. Feed
lines must be connected to both sides to ensure an even water flow.) Close off the unused
inlet(s) with the provided plugs. The plugs have O-ring seals and can be installed without
thread sealant.
Installing a ball valve (not included) on the feed line between the pump and the Colorfalls is
recommended for added control of water flow.
Plumbing Modular Colorfalls
Connect the Colorfalls together using the 1½" threaded connector (included). Begin by
installing one end of the connector into the side inlet of one Colorfalls. Align the second
Colorfalls and spin it onto the threaded fitting (screwing the two units together). Before they
are completely tightened, install the double sided gasket (included) at the end of the spillway
between the units. This will create a watertight seal where the spillways meet. Pull the spillways
of the Colorfalls apart while completing the final turn of the Colorfalls body. Once you have
ensured proper alignment, press the spillways of the two units together (sandwiching the
gasket) to ensure it is in contact with both units.
When plumbing multiple Color Changing Colorfalls together, use the back center inlet on
each individual Colorfalls, plugging the side inlets, regardless if you are using one pump or
multiple pumps. This will balance the flow of water going to the falls.

Note: If plumbing two different

sized Colorfalls together, a ball valve
must be added on each vertical
feed line to balance the water flow
into each unit.
The individual feed lines to each
Colorfalls should be 1½" PVC. If using
one pump to feed multiple Colorfalls,
the main feed line should be 2" or
larger. The main feed line should be
run horizontally along the back of
the wall with vertical 1½" feed lines
branching off to each Colorfalls
(Figure 3).
