indoor air quality

Yournew NAPOLEON waterfall will dramatically improvethe indoor air quality inyour home. The waterfall isa natural humidifier

which helpsalleviate dry skin and allergies. This is extremely beneficial in dryclimates and also cold climateswhere forced air
furnaces dry the air. The waterfall also cleansthe air by attracting contaminants. Moving water attracts airborne particles, such as
dust, pet dander,pollen and other pollutants. The waterfall draws these particles into the water, which is then filtered through a 5
micron filter before being recirculated. Theresultis cleaner,fresher,humidifiedair. Waterfalls also generate negative ions. These
odourless tastelessinvisible molecules are created innature as air molecules break apartdueto sunlight, radiation, and movingair
and water. Researchers now believe that negative ionsaid in alleviating depression, reducingstress and boosting energy.

installation Tools and materials required

Before you begin hookingup the fountain ensure that you have access to the following materials and tools.
Tools:

-utility knife

- adjustable wrench

- 3/8” nut driver

-pliers

- flat screw driver

Materials:

- saddle valve and 1/4” tubing (ice makerplumbing kit) (required if unit is being connected
to house water supply)

- teflon tape

- possible additional 1/2” i.d. tubing and 3/4” i.d. tubing depending on location of unit.

- liquid TSP (Trisodium Phosphate) or TSP Substitute cleaner

appropriate location

There are several things to considerwhen choosing the appropriate locationto install your waterfall.
The waterfall is designed tobe installed into a 2” x4” interior wall. Thewaterfallshould not be installed ina load bearing wall,

unless it can be framed in with proper supports and headers as required by your local building codes. Check with your local
building authority for specifications. Installingthewaterfallin an exterior wall isnot recommended, as it cannot beproperly insulated.
If there are no suitable alternativelocations, then the waterfall canbe installed in a 2” x6” wall using rigid foaminsulation between
the exterior of the house and the back of the fountain. The waterfall cannot be installedin a 2” x 4” exterior wall.

The lights,pump and optional UV-light require power. Make sure you choosea location that has the availablepower within reach of

the supplied electrical cords. The receptaclemust be GFI (ground faultinterrupt) protected. Electrical workmust be done by a
qualifiedelectrician. Check with your local building authorityforspecifications for your area. Do not runextensioncords behind walls.

An area to locate the pump module is also required. It should be located as close to the fountainas possible and in a location

that is easily accessible forservicing and maintaining the module. For every 1 foot that the pump moduleis located away from the
fountain unit, 1 inch of drop is required from the fountain basin drain outlet to the pump module drain inlet.

The waterfall is designed tobe connected toawater source, to automatically refillthe basin as water evaporates,and to a drain,

in case of accidental overflow. The unit can be operated without the water source connection, but is not recommended. The water
will evaporate naturally and willrequire additional water to ensureproper flow and pump operation. Damage to thepump incurred
by running dry is not covered by warranty. The waterfall must be hooked-up to a drain which will allow the tank to be purged for
routine cleaning, and will prevent theunit from overflowing if thefloat valve malfunctions.

Waterdamage to surrounding objects in your home is not covered in your NAPOLEON warranty. The waterfall is designed to not

splash, however if it is notproperly installed or maintained, some splashing mayoccur. Protect delicate nearby surfaces that could
be damaged by splashing. Donot trim with materials that can be damaged by moisture such as particle board or MDF. It is best to
install the unit in stone, marble,glass, tile etc.

Although your NAPOLEON Waterfall will be beneficial to the air quality of your home, excess moisture can lead to the formation of

mold and mildew. It is recommended that all homes have some formof humidity control and air exchange system to prevent such
an occurence.

water

Waterisperhapsthemost critical component in thewaterfall. Dirty orcontaminatedwater will quickly cause operationalproblems

with your waterfall. House water must be softened and filtered if the unit is to be connected to the water supply. RO (Reverse
Osmosis) water will give the best results, and require the least amount of maintenance. Iftheunit is not being connected to the
house supply,distilledbottledwater is recommended. The provided filter and optionalUV-lightcannotpreventhard water deposits
from forming on the surfaces of your waterfall. Hard water will also cause pluggedpassagesand manifold ports, reducing the flow
effect on the waterfall surface. Thelife-spanof the pump will also be adversely affected due to the use of hard water. Use of RO or
distilled water is by far thebest way of ensuring yearsof carefree enjoyment from yourwaterfall.

The provided particle filter will helpprevent clogging of the manifold ports that disperse the water down the face of thewaterfall.

The water that flows down the face will attract dust, debris particles and mould spores that are floating in the air in your home. This
will help to naturally filterthe air you breath andkeep your home cleaner. However thefilter will become contaminated and the water
flow will be reduced overtime. We recommendthat the filter be replaced whenever the waterfall iscleaned, every 3-4 months or
sooner as deemed necessary by poor water flow. Thefilters can be purchased through your authorized NAPOLEON dealer.

The optional ultraviolet-light will help destroyany green algae, bacteria, mouldor mildew found in thewater. Flowingwater is fairly

resistant to this kindof growth, but in time the water will become contaminatedand the system will have to be flushed and thor­oughly cleaned. Not only unsightly but mould and bacteria growth will plug the manifold ports, reducing the flow of water and can
damage the water pump over time. The optional UV-light will help to keep your waterfall relatively maintenance free by keeping the
water cleaner for a longer period of time. TheUV-bulbmustbe replaced every year to ensure proper operation. The UV-bulbsare
availablefrom your authorized NAPOLEON dealer.

The waterfall is designed tobe connected directly to awater source. Waterfallsarenaturalhumidifiersfor the environment. The

amount of water the waterfall consumes daily is dependant upon how dry the air is, and how large thewaterfall surface is. Thereis
a float valve that will open as the water level drops,allowing water toenter the system. Thiswillensure that the water level is kept at
the height required for proper operation of the water pump. The pump should never be allowed to run dry and damage resulting
from that will not be covered by warranty. If there is not a suitablewater source to behad nearby,thewaterfall can be installedas a
stand-alonesystem,but the water level willhave to be monitored frequentlyand supplemented as needed.

WATER PUMPS

The water pump supplied with yourwaterfall has been selected forits high flow volume, efficiency,quietoperation and reliability.

The pump is suitable for pushing water to a height of 12 feet, however the flow is reduced greatly at that height. This must be kept
in mind when finding a location for the pump and water basin, so the pump module must be located on the same floor as the
fountain. The system has aflow control valve after the filter that can beadjusted to provide thedesired flow rate on the waterfall
surface.

The pump must be kept submersed in water at all times while in operation. Thewater acts as a cooling agent for the pump,

preventing the pump from overheating. Lowwater levels, frequently turning the pump on and off and impurities in the water from
poor waterfall maintenance will shorten thelife of the pump. Ifmaintainedproperly,thepumpwill provide years of reliable service.

If you hear excessive noise coming from your pump, check first to see that you have enough water in the basin to keep the pump

fully submerged below 1-2” of water. The pump should not be vibrating against the tub, but if it is, it can be isolated by placing a
small piece of sponge between the pump and the basin. Be sure to not block or restrict in any way the pump’s water inlet.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The waterfall will require 2 separate 110voltelectricalreceptacles, one for the lightsandone for the water pump. GFIrecepta-

cles must be used, because of theuse of water and possibility of contact.

It is not required that the receptacles be wired ontheir own circuit, asthe pump, lights and optional UV-lightdrawvery little

current. If there isalready a heavy load elsewhereon that circuit or youhave trouble with breakers tripping,a separate circuit will
need to be installed. Anycircuit wiring or GFI installation must be done by a qualifiedelectrician. Ifyouwould like to be able to turn
the fountain on and off, the receptacles should be wired to a wall switch. Twowall switched receptacles are recommended, one for
the pump and UV-light(optional) and one for the lights. This will allow you to turn the lights on and off independently of the fountain.
