Installation of Colorfalls
The opening in the wall where the
Colorfalls will be placed is important
to the function of the Colorfalls. If
it is not level and free of debris the
Colorfalls will not function properly.
The base of Colorfalls body (A) as
well as the bottom of the spillway
lip (B) must be supported by the
opening in which it is placed. The
top side of the opening (C) must
also be in contact with the Colorfalls
to prevent it from shifting. See
Figure 1 for the proper sizing of
the opening for the Colorfalls. No
more than one inch of spillway
should extend out from the wall.
The Colorfalls must be accessible
for service and maintenance. The
LED light bar is accessed from the
side of the colorfalls body [Figure 2].
Installing the Colorfalls so that the
entire body is removable is highly
recommended. Do not glue the
cap stones above the Colorfalls
or permanently mortar the Colorfalls in place.
Plumbing the Colorfalls
The Colorfalls has a 1¼" female pipe thread inlet located at the center-back of each
unit. Connect the plumbing using a 1¼" male threaded fitting (not included) of your
choice. Apply silicone to the threads of the male fitting. Screw the fitting into the
Colorfalls inlet until tight. Hand-tighten only. Tightening too hard may crack the
back of the unit.
Connect the plumbing line from the pump to the Colorfalls, using a minimum 1¼"
diameter tubing is recommended. Narrower tubing will cause inadequate flow and
a broken sheer. PVC pipe is recommened because corrugated tubing with insert
fittings restrict flow. Installing a ball valve (not included) on the feed line between
the pump and the Colorfalls is recommended for added control of water flow.
Operation
Connect the light bar to the transformer using the two pronged quick-connect
plug. Plug the 12 volt AC transformer into a standard 120 volt outlet. Connect the
tubing to the properly sized pump (not included) and turn the pump on.
