COMPLETE THE SKIMMER INSTALLATION
• The Skimmer has two holes on either side of the unit for
the plumbing to travel to the Biofall. Choose the plumbing
hole that is most convenient. The pipe simply passes
through the opening on either side of the Skimmer.
• The pump's electrical cord can positioned over the top
edge of the skimmer.
• Insert the barbed multi-hose adapter included with the
pump onto the end of the pipe and tighten down hose
clamp. Thread the end of the pipe onto the rotational ball
fi tting attached to the pump and lower into the Skimmer.

Overfl ow Installation (Recommended but Optional)
• Attach and trench a
section of kink-free
pipe into place (3'
minimum). Create a
drainage area at the
end of the pipe by
excavating a small
pit, roughly 16" in
diameter and at least
12" deep. Fill the pit
with excess gravel. This will allow water in an overfl ow
situation to fl ow through the pipe and drain away from
the pond. (See Ex 22)
• A layer of scrap underlayment fabric, soil or sod can be
added to cover the drainage area.
