Specifications

Setup and Installation

This waterfall fountain requires an external water pump (not included). We recommend using a Y strainer filter to prevent scale buildup and maintain water cleanliness.

Installation Options:

1. Submersible Pump Installation (Plan A):

   For installations where the pump is placed directly in the water reservoir. Ensure the pump is adequately sized for the spillway's flow requirements.

   

   Figure 3: Submersible Pump Installation Diagram. This diagram illustrates the setup where the water pump is submerged within the water feature, connected to the spillway.

2. Priming Pump Installation (Plan B):

   For installations where the pump is located outside the water reservoir. This setup typically involves a self-priming pump or a pump that requires manual priming.

   

   Figure 4: Priming Pump Installation Diagram. This diagram shows an external pump setup, where the pump is located outside the water feature and connected to the spillway via plumbing.

General Installation Notes:

• The spillway features two 1.2-inch water inlets (bottom and back) for flexible plumbing connections.
• Use the provided PTFE tape on all threaded connections to ensure a watertight seal.
• Securely mount the spillway using the provided brackets and screws.
• An inspection port can be reserved during installation to facilitate future replacement or maintenance of components.

Operating Instructions

LED Light Bar Operation:

The spillway is equipped with a 7-color LED light bar, controlled by the included remote control pad. Ensure the IP67 adapter is connected to a power source and the LED strip light is properly connected to the adapter.

• Choose dynamic color-changing modes for a varied visual display.
• Adjust brightness and speed of dynamic modes using the remote control.

Maintenance

316 Stainless Steel Care:

The 316 stainless steel construction offers superior corrosion resistance, especially in saltwater environments. However, minor rust formation can occur due to long-term outdoor exposure to water.

Figure 6: Stainless Steel Material and Maintenance. This image highlights the 316 stainless steel material and demonstrates the use of a scouring pad to remove minor rust spots that may appear due to prolonged water exposure.

• To address minor rust formation, gently rub the affected area with the provided "SOUR PAD" (scouring pad) to restore the surface.
• Regularly clean the spillway surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent to prevent mineral buildup and maintain its appearance.
• Ensure the water pump and filter (if used) are regularly cleaned according to their respective manuals to maintain optimal water flow and prevent clogging.

Troubleshooting

• No Water Flow: Check if the water pump is powered on and functioning. Ensure water levels in the reservoir are adequate. Inspect plumbing for blockages or kinks. Clean any filters.
• Uneven Water Flow: Verify that the spillway is level. Check for debris in the spillway opening. Ensure the pump is providing consistent pressure.
• LED Lights Not Working: Check power connections to the IP67 adapter and the LED strip. Ensure the remote control has working batteries and is pointed correctly at the receiver.
• Rust Spots: Refer to the Maintenance section for instructions on using the scouring pad.
