indoor air quality

Yournew NAPOLEON waterfallwill dramatically improvethe indoor airquality in your home. The waterfall isa natural humidifier

which helps alleviate dryskin and allergies. This is extremelybeneficial in dryclimates and alsocold climates whereforced air
furnaces dry theair. The waterfall alsocleans the airby attracting contaminants. Moving water attractsairborne particles, suchas
dust, pet dander, pollen andother pollutants. The waterfalldraws these particlesinto the water,whichis thenfiltered through a 5
micron filter beforebeing recirculated. The result iscleaner,fresher,humidifiedair. Waterfalls also generatenegative ions. These
odourless tasteless invisible moleculesare created innature as airmolecules break apartdue to sunlight,radiation, and movingair
and water. Researchers nowbelieve that negativeions aid inalleviating depression, reducingstress and boostingenergy.

installation Tools and materials required

Before you beginhooking upthe fountain ensurethat youhave access to the followingmaterials andtools.
Tools:

-utility knife

- adjustable w rench

- 3/8” nut driver

-pliers

- flat screwdriver

Materials:

- saddle valveand 1/4”tubing (ice makerplumbing kit)(required if unit is beingconnected
to house watersupply)

- teflon tape

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

- liquid TSP (TrisodiumPhosphate) or TSP Substitutecleaner

appropriate location

There are severalthings to considerwhen choosing theappropriate location toinstall your waterfall.
The waterfall isdesigned to beinstalled into a2” x 4”interior wall. The waterfallshould not beinstalled in a load bearingwall,

unless it can be framed in withproper supportsand headers as required by your local building codes. Check with your local
building authority forspecifications. Installing thewaterfall in anexterior wall isnot recommended, asit cannot beproperly insulated.
If there areno suitable alternativelocations, then thewaterfall can beinstalled in a2” x 6”wall using rigidfoam insulation between
the exterior of the houseand theback ofthe fountain. The waterfallcannot beinstalled in a 2” x 4” exteriorwall.

The see-thru waterfall only has water running down one side of the glass, so thoughtshould begiven asto whichdirection the

unit is mounted. The side with themanifold isthe side with the water flow. The see-thru waterfall is not designed to beair tightlike
a window and cannot be placed on an exterior wall. If being placed between rooms where privacy may bea concern,a cloudedor
patternedglass can beused. Some noise will also travelbetween the tworooms that sharethe waterfall.

The lights, pump andoptional UV-light require power. Make sureyou choose alocation that hasthe available power within reachof

the supplied electricalcords. The receptaclemust be GFI(ground fault interrupt)protected. Electrical work mustbe done bya
qualifiedelectrician. Checkwith your localbuilding authority forspecificationsfor 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 fountain as possible and in a location

that is easilyaccessible for servicingand maintaining themodule. For every 1foot thatthe pump moduleis located awayfrom the
fountain unit, 1 inch of drop is required from the fountain basin drain outlet to thepump moduledrain inlet.

The waterfall isdesigned to beconnected to a watersource, to automatically refill thebasin as waterevaporates, and to a drain,

in case of accidental overflow. The unitcan beoperated without the water source connection, but is not recommended. The water
will evaporate naturallyand will requireadditional water to ensure properflow and pumpoperation. Damage to thepump incurred
by running dry is not covered by warranty. The waterfall must be hooked-up to a drain whichwill allowthe tankto bepurged for
routine cleaning, andwill prevent theunit from overflowingif the floatvalve malfunctions.

Waterdamage to surrounding objectsin your home isnot coveredin yourNAPOLEON warranty. The waterfall is designed to not

splash, however ifit is notproperly installed ormaintained,some splashing mayoccur. Protect delicatenearby surfaces thatcould
be damaged by splashing. Donot trim with materials that can be damaged by moisture such as particle board or MDF. It isbest to
install the unitin stone, marble,glass, tile etc.

Although your NAPOLEONWaterfallwill bebeneficial to theair quality of your home,excess moisture can lead tothe formation of

mold and mildew. It is recommended that allhomes have some form ofhumidity controland air exchange system toprevent such
an occurence.

water

Wateris perhaps the mostcritical component in the waterfall. Dirty or contaminatedwater will quicklycause operational problems

with your waterfall. House water must be softened andfiltered if the unit is to beconnected tothe watersupply. RO (Reverse
Osmosis) water willgive thebest results, andrequire the least amount ofmaintenance. If the unit is notbeing connectedto the
house supply,distilled bottled wateris recommended. The provided filterand optionalUV-lightcannotprevent hard waterdeposits
from forming onthe surfaces of your waterfall. Hard water will alsocause plugged passagesand manifoldports, reducing theflow
effect on the waterfall surface. The life-spanof thepump will also be adversely affected dueto theuse of hard water. Use ofRO or
distilled water isby far thebest way ofensuring years ofcarefree enjoyment fromyour waterfall.

The provided sedimentfilter will helpprevent clogging ofthe manifoldports that dispersethe water downthe face ofthe waterfall.

The water that flows downthe facewill attract dust, debris particlesand mouldspores that are floating in the airin yourhome. This
will help tonaturally filter theair you breatheand keepyour home cleaner. However thefilter will become contaminated and the
water flow willbe reduced overtime. We recommend thatthe filter bereplaced whenever the waterfall iscleaned, every 3-4months
or sooner as deemed necessaryby poorwater flow. The filters can bepurchased throughyour authorized NAPOLEON dealer.

The optional ultraviolet-lightwill help destroyany green algae,bacteria, mould ormildew found inthe water. Flowing water isfairly

resistant to thiskind ofgrowth, but in time the water willbecome contaminatedand the systemwill haveto be flushed and thor­oughly cleaned. Notonly unsightly but mould and bacteria growth will plug the manifold ports, reducing the flow of water and can
damage the waterpump over time. The optional UV-lightwill helpto keep your waterfall relativelymaintenance free bykeeping the
water cleaner for a longerperiod oftime. The UV-bulb must be replaced every year to ensure properoperation. The UV-bulbs are
availablefrom yourauthorizedNAPOLEON dealer.

The waterfall isdesigned to beconnected directly to a watersource. Waterfallsare natural humidifiersfor the environment. The

amount of waterthe waterfallconsumes daily is dependant uponhow dry the air is,and howlarge the waterfall surface is. There is
a float valvethat will openas the waterlevel drops, allowing water toenter the system. This willensure that thewater level iskept at
the height required for proper operationof thewater pump. The pump shouldnever beallowed to run dry and damage resulting
from that willnot becovered by warranty. If there is nota suitablewater source tobe had nearby,thewaterfall canbe installed asa
stand-alonesystem, but thewater level willhave to bemonitored frequentlyand supplemented asneeded.

WATER PUMPS

The water pumpsupplied with yourwaterfall has beenselected for itshigh flow volume,efficiency,quiet operationand reliability.

The pump is suitable for pushing water to a height of 12 feet, however the flow is reduced greatly atthat height. This must be kept
in mind when finding a location for the pumpand water basin, so the pump module must be located on the same floor as the
fountain. The minimum spacerequired for the pump module for the waterfall is18” x 18” x 15” high. The systemhas a flow control
valve after the filter that canbe adjusted toprovide the desiredflow rateon the waterfallsurface.

The pump must be kept submersed in water at alltimes whilein operation. The water acts as a cooling agent for the pump,

preventing the pumpfrom overheating. Low water levels, frequentlyturning the pump on and off andimpurities in the water from
poor waterfall maintenancewill shorten thelife of thepump. If maintained properly, the pumpwill provide yearsof 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 thetub, butif itis, itcan beisolated byplacing a
small piece of sponge between the pump and the basin. Be sure to not block or restrictin anyway thepump’s water inlet.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The waterfall willrequire 2 separate110voltelectrical receptacles, one for thelightsand onefor the waterpump. GFIrecepta-

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

It is notrequired that the receptacles be wired on theirown circuit, asthe pump,lights and optionalUV-lightdraw very little

current. If thereis already a heavy loadelsewhere on thatcircuit or youhave trouble withbreakers tripping,a separate circuit will
need to beinstalled. Any circuitwiring or GFI installation mustbe doneby a qualified electrician. If you would liketo be able to turn
the fountain onand off,the receptacles should be wired to awall switch. Twowall switchedreceptacles are recommended, one for
the pump and UV-light (optional) and one for the lights. This willallow youto turnthe lightson andoff independently of the fountain.
