4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install your LED Waterfall:

1. Prepare the Pool: Ensure your above-ground framed pool is set up and filled. Turn off and unplug your pool filter pump before beginning installation.
2. Install Batteries: The LED light requires 3 x AA batteries (not included). Locate the battery compartment on the waterfall unit, open it, insert the batteries with correct polarity, and securely close the compartment.
3. Attach Mounting Clamps: Secure the adjustable mounting clamps to the top rail of your pool frame. Ensure they are tightened sufficiently to hold the waterfall unit firmly in place.
4. Connect to Filter Pump: The waterfall connects to your pool's filter pump return hose. Use the provided adapter to ensure a secure fit for both 1.25-inch and 1.5-inch hoses. The waterfall requires a pump flow rate between 530 to 3,000 GPH (2,006 to 11,356 L/h) for optimal performance.
5. Position the Waterfall: Once connected, position the waterfall unit so that the water cascade flows smoothly into the pool.
