• Once plumbing connections are complete, bury the pipe
by filling in the trench around it.
STEP 14
DISGUISE THE WATERFALL SPILLWAY
• Finish the Waterfall Spillway
installation by disguising
the spillway using rocks,
logs, soil, or other creative
landscape materials
(Ex. 47). This will help to
create a natural-looking
waterfall.
STEP 15
APPLY POND AND WATERFALL FOAM SEALANT
• The included Pond and Waterfall Foam Sealant is used to
fill in gaps between the waterfall rocks, forcing the water to
run over the waterfall rocks, not beneath them.
• Use the Pond and Waterfall Foam Sealant to seal any
gaps or joints around the face of the Waterfall Spillway and
the surrounding waterfall (Ex. 48). Allow the foam sealant
to dry for at least one hour before introducing water.
TIP: Gravel can be used to disguise the foam.
Wait for foam to partially dry prior to adding
gravel.
STEP 16
ADD WATER
• Fill the basin by adding water to the pump access or by
placing a running garden hose on top of the basin.
STEP 17
PLUG IN THE PUMP AND TWEAK THE WATERFALL
• When the basin is filled and
the waterfall foam is dry,
plug the pump in and test
the waterfall (Ex. 49).
10
WARNING: Any electrical should be plugged
into a GFCI rated receptacle.
• You can tweak the waterfall by placing smaller stones
and gravel on the waterfall cascades. This will change
the appearance and sound of the water. Have fun playing
with the water coming over the falls until you achieve the
desired effect.
STEP 18
TRIM THE LINER
• With the waterfall running,
Ex. 47
go around and trim off
any excess liner, leaving
several inches above the
water level/water splash as
a precaution (Ex. 50). The
remaining liner edges can
be covered with gravel or
other suitable landscape
material.
NOTE: Do not trim the liner until the waterfall is running
and the basin is filled to the desired level. Prematurely
trimming the liner may cause leaks!
STEP 19
ADD PLANTS AND NATURALIZE EDGES
• If desired, add marginal plants within the feature to provide
additional aesthetic interest. Compatible plants include
Creeping Jenny, Forget Me Not, and more.
Ex. 48
• Terrestrial plants can also be added to the surrounding
landscape to help tie the water feature into its surrounding
environment.
• The area around the basin can now be mulched to
naturalize the feature into the surrounding landscape.
