COMPLETE THE MICROSKIM
• The MicroSkim has two holes on either side of the unit
®
for the plumbing to travel to the MicroFalls
plumbing hole that is most convenient. The pipe simply
passes through the opening on either side
of the MicroSkim .
®
• The pump's electrical cord can positioned over the top
edge of the skimmer.
• Insert the barbed multi-hose adapter included with the
pump onto the end of the pipe and tighten down hose
clamp. Thread the end of the pipe onto the rotational ball
fitting attached to the pump and lower into the MicroSkim
Overflow Installation (Recommended but Optional)
• Attach and trench a section of kink-free pipe into place
(3' minimum). Create a drainage area at the end of the
pipe by excavating a small pit, roughly 16" in diameter
and at least 12" deep. Fill the pit with excess gravel. This
will allow water in an overflow situation to flow through
the pipe and drain away from the pond. (See Ex 22)
• A layer of scrap underlayment fabric, soil or sod can be
added to cover the drainage area.

ADD WATER
• Fill up the pond basin with water. The pond should be
filled just below the level of the overflow in the
MicroSkim .
®
Note: We recommend adding Aquascape Pond Detoxifier to dechlorinate and
properly condition water prior to introducing fish to your new pond. See your
Aquascape dealer for water treatment products.

STEP 12
HOOK UP THE MICROFALLS
• Prior to installing the waterfall lip, make sure the face of the
filter and liner is clean and free of dust and debris.
• Have someone hold the liner against the MicroFalls
you line up the waterfall lip over the liner. Make sure there
are no wrinkles and the liner
comes up above the sides
of the MicroFalls
®
that you have a few inches
of slack liner along the front
base of your MicroFalls
will help reduce tension on
the waterfall lip when placing
boulders in front of the unit.
(See Ex. 23)
• Temporarily install the
waterfall lip and liner to the
MicroFalls using the two
®
outermost screws. Using
an awl or nail, poke the first
hole in the liner all the way
through to the inside of the
MicroFalls . (See Ex. 24 &
®
25) Be careful not to damage
the threads on the nut inserts
when punching the holes with
the awl! Remove the awl or
nail while holding waterfall
snout and liner in place and begin threading one of the
screws into the filter.
• Repeat this process for the other screw.
