INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of an Astral Pool Waterfall. Proper installation will ensure many years of trouble free use and enjoyment.

INSTALLATION

A dedicated plumbing line is recommended for all waterfalls. It is recommended that 50mm PVC pipe be used for all installations and must be used where the required flow rate exceeds 200 ltr/min or the total pipe length exceeds 20 metres. The waterfall must be installed before the deck and coping is laid.

It is essential that a filter is plumbed in line with the water fall pump to prevent debris from entering the waterfall and blocking the water exit of the waterfall.

NOTE: If the Waterfall is not level when installed the water flow will be un-even! Ensure that the Grout Guard is in place at all times during Installation.

1. It is recommended that 50mm pipe is used for all installations.
2. Make a notch, cutout or penetration in the mounting wall face 20mm longer than the length of the waterfall.
3. When installing waterfalls in sprayed concrete or brick walls, do not tie the waterfall to the Reinforcing Steel or spray in the concrete as the waterfall body can be distorted as the concrete dries and cause internal damage due to excessive stressing and movement. It is recommended to provide a penetration using polystyrene or wood, allowing for connection of the pipe work at rear. The Waterfall can then be installed at a later date once the wall has set.

WATERFALLS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO TAKE HEAVY WHEELS AND IF THEY ARE NOT SUPPORTED PROPERLY CAN SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE.

1. Knock out the penetration and place the waterfall in the notch, cutout or penetration made on the mounting surface leaving a 10mm gap at each end.

NOTE: Extended lip models must be sufficiently supported.

1. Level the waterfall, using packers where necessary.
2. Ensure the waterfall lip edge will be flush with the finished wall surface.
3. Fill in the area below and in the back with mortar.
4. To ensure the waterfall stays in a level position while the mortar is setting place a piece of wood over the waterfall. Then use bricks or heavy objects placed on top of the wood to allow even weight distribution.
5. Once the mortar is set remove the wood and heavy objects to complete the installation.

GROUT GUARD

The Grout guard is to protect the waterfall outlet from dirt, dust, mortar and debris while it is been installed.

PUMP SELECTION.

Below is a guide as to the pump size required to operate your waterfall efficiently and effectively. PUMP SIZE (Approximate) for WATERFALLS

Silkflow Waterfall Length	Required Water Flow - Itr/min/m Typical Pump Size - Hp
300mm	50
600mm	100
900mm	150
1200mm	200

Flow Control

A two way valve must be installed on the outlet of the waterfall pump in an accessible area to control the amount of water that exits the waterfall. It will also reduce the risk of damage on start up. Have the valve half open on start up and reduce or increase depending on the desired waterfall effect you wish to achieve.

Waterfalls naturally become narrower as they fall. Below is a recommended guide for the height your waterfall should be installed above the water surface.

A – Waterfall Length	B – Waterfall Width at Pool Surface at Recommended ltr/min/m	C – Recommended Waterfall Height	D – Water Distance at Recommended ltr/min/m
300mm	200mm	300mm
600mm	500mm	600mm
900mm	800mm	900mm
1200mm	1100mm	900mm
1800mm	1700mm	900mm
2400mm	2300mm	900mm
