See the chart below for the recommended placement of the Colorfalls above the
basin or pool. If the placement of the Colorfalls exceeds the recommended height,
water loss will increase significantly due to splash and wind drift.

Installation of Color Changing Colorfalls
The opening in the wall where the Colorfalls will be placed is important to the
function of the Colorfalls. If it is not level and free of debris the Colorfalls will not
function properly. The base 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 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
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 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.
