WARNING! PONDS ARE DANGEROUS TO SMALL CHILDREN!

NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNSUPERVISED NEAR A POND.

1. FEATURES

Thank you for purchasing your new P ro Series Waterfall. You now own one of the most versatile waterfall units
ever designed. It has a number of features that set it apart from the rest:

(1) Waterfall Box with compact capacity for minimal turbulence
and room for biological filtration media
(2) Stepped Barb fitting with diverter (Models 1000 & 2000 only)
(3) Biological filtration models feature either polyester Debris
Filter Pads or BioMatrix biological filter media in a convenient
open mesh media bag to biologically treat your pond
(4a) 2” Bulkhead Fitting Assembly (Model 3000)
(4b) 2” Barbed Fitting (Model 3000)

• All Pro Series Waterfall units are designed to be strong enough

to resist collapsing from the pressure of soil and water around
them, even when empty.

• They easily support the weight of stones placed on the upper

rim to conceal it.

• Large capacity of the Waterfall Box means it will hold more filter

media, providing greater surface area for bacterial colonization,
and therefore more filtering capacity.

2. HOW BIOLOGICAL FILTRATION WORKS in the Pro Series BioMatrix Filter and Falls:
Fish extract nutrition from what they eat and excrete what’s left back into the water column in the form of

ammonia, which can be very toxic even at low concentrations. Your Biological Filter and Falls is specifically
designed to maximize the natural processes that remove ammonia from the water. Water pumped into the
Biological Filter and Falls brings the dissolved wastes into contact with bacterial colonies on the many
surfaces of the filter media. These colonies digest, or metabolize, the ammonia. Some types of bacteria turn
it into nitrites; others take the still toxic nitrites and dissolved oxygen and turn them into
less toxic nitrates, a natural fertilizer that is easily taken up by plants. When the proper balance of fish, plants
and aeration is reached, your Biological Filter and Falls will remove all of the ammonia and nitrite in your
pond and since the bacteria work best when undisturbed, you don’t have to clean it for the entire season.
Even better, your Biological Filter and Falls makes it easy to find that balance by helping to aerate the water
as it flows over the waterfall lip and by providing a great spot to place floating plants – right in the top of
the Biological Filter and Falls itself. The Pro1000 Biological Filter and Falls can handle water flows from 250
to 950 gallons per hour, the Pro2000 Biological Filter and Falls can handle water flows from 950 to 2000
gallons per hour, & the Pro3000 Biological Filter and Falls can handle 1000 to 3000 gallons per hour so they
work with a great variety of pump sizes.

*Note

For Stepped Barb Fitting, Cut

off any extra small sections

that restrict flow rate.
